Set in a northern landscape-both harsh and beautiful-Suzanne Rogier Marshall's poems are deeply rooted in the earth, the interconnection of self with the natural world and its greater rhythms. This collection begins with an opening poem in the voice of a maple tree, spreading its roots into six sections, weaving themes of endings and new beginnings, of leaving and coming back, of home. Her poems speak to the human in all of us and to our place within nature.
