Tall Grasses of Woods Hole & Other Summery Poems

Clare writes from a place we can all go. She brings me There, where I become a little drunk on the Nature of things. Between the two covers of this book… rivers sing and never look back, the heart has eyes. I’m reminded to enter the pause between two breaths; if I take the time, I arrive Home.

Joan Lederman, potter, The Soft Earth

Clare Rosenfield’s new book of poetry is a spirited, personal account of experiences not only in, but also of, Nature. Her images of Cape Cod light, shade and color are as fresh as those of the American impressionists who found this landscape a source of physical delight and personal expression. In her reinvention of the pastoral lyric, she has written poetry as essentially spiritual as that of Hillaire Belloc or Frances Cornford.
