The Light of Things Jane Marmaduke Woodman

Jane Marmaduke Woodman's recent collection of poetry is a set of sonnets and lighter songs about growing things, like vegetables and people, and the persistence of Life. The new collection makes a good introduction to the sonnet form for people whose experience with poetry has been such that they find more formal forms annoying. For others, especially including those who find a basis for spirituality in the elements of the earth, the book should provide affirmation of what we all love about the natural world and some smiles.
