About this author

Joe lives in a small town in Pennsylvania with his wife, Laurie, and son, Paul. As a geographer he teaches as adjunct faculty, and he also co-owns a small, independent used book store and gift shop. Joe has traveled extensively in the U.S. and abroad, and has lived in Italy, Canada and Argentina. He is an avid hiker and nature lover, enjoys the practice of martial arts, and occasionally loves to get his hands dirty behind a potter's wheel, in a woodshop, or some other interesting manual endeavor.

A collection of fifty poems, inspired by nature's beauty and spiritual perfection, by Steve Robison.

Nature is divine, and in nature there are lessons. This book presents poetically the lessons which lead the reader to deeper understanding of the world and its mystery.

"God is in the atom," said Einstein. Poet Steve Robison finds God in the tree, in the flight of a seagull, in the sunrise and sunset. There are many paths to enlightenment; nature is a soft and gentle teacher. The poems...more
