If you love Mary Oliver's nature poems but could stand a bit less Christianity in them, or if you love Mary Oliver's poetry and just want another poet with that same level of detail in observations and being continually gobsmacked by how unlikely and beautiful this world is, Pattiann Rogers is for you.

Despite awards and recognitions, Pattiann Rogers is still an under-appreciated poet of the latter 20th and early 21st Centuries. In this prose essay, Rogers describes how her writing creates her as she creates it, and that this mirrors our place in the natural world, which creates us as we give it consciousness. She shines her words on the sacred in the smallest detail, and with passion and sensuality, makes a marriage of art and science. This small book is worth reading more than once.

Pattiann Rogers continues to be one of the best poets writing today, although her reputation may not be as widespread as some. In this 2008 collection, Rogers once again interweaves science, nature, the very personal, the psychological, and the philosophic in a lovely and sometimes whimsical tapestry. While there is whimsy in how she weaves, every word is seriously meant and seriously placed.

The opening poem, "The Great Deluge and Its Coming" describes a torrent of water and creatures to reveal the unity of all being and the fragility of all living creatures in the face of "the ultimate stillness of the dependable void." The collection is organized as if each section were a visit to a Concert Hall or a Museum or a natural habitat.

If you love poetry and/or if you love life, spend some time with "Wayfare." Pattiann Rogers is a great companion.

In this selection of poems published between 1981 and 1994, Pattiann Rogers reveals the beatification of the natural world and the seer of that world in the interaction of observer and observed. Yes she is more comfortable with science than most contemporary poets who pretend that there is a great divide in the beauty witnessed by both. Rogers knows better as she invests the natural world with love and lust and fills her rooms and her very body with the universe. Her language has a clarity that is not simple and a simplicity that is not flaccid. I recommend her work for those who love great poetry, who love the natural world, and who want to see someone mend the tears we have made in ourselves and between ourselves and our universe.… (más)
