Terrain Gina Hietpas

Poetry. In her debut poetry collection, TERRAIN, self-taught poet and educator Gina Hietpas offers readers a way to return to the land with care and dignity. Drawing from a deep well of personal observation, connection and participation with the natural world, Hietpas' poems explore themes of allyship, care, and ultimately, healing. On each page, the author invites readers to experience the highs and lows of health and illness, bravery and anxiety, and aging and timelessness as she has throughout her life in the Pacific Northwest. These poems are meant to be a respite, a pause in our busy lives to appreciate who and what surrounds us.
