Gold Ray: Poems of Celebration and Concern for the Earth - Karen Jones - Bog

Karen Jones' new chapbook, Gold Ray, presents an invitation to see "...farther into the forest . . . enticing us from the trail into enchantment..." ("Winter Moss"). In the voices of keen observer, scientist, outdoorswoman, and educator, Karen takes us through forest, sand beaches, river, and bay to preserve the natural world with her acutely articulated observations. Her poems incorporate nostalgia, resilience, and ultimately, celebration, exhorting the reader to experience this world fully.-Rachel Barton, Editor, Willawaw JournalIn Gold Ray, Karen Jones gives us a world that is beautiful, complex, and fragile, and most of all, a world worth saving. Her poetry will dazzle you with language as beautiful and magical as the world she describes.-Doug Stone, Author of Sitting in Powell's Watching Burnside Dissolve in Rain
