The Leaf Path

by Emily Warn, Sally Warn (Illustrator)

Poetry. Emily Warn is a poet of kinship and harmony. And she often uses narrative to establish surprising relationships. Warn's poems define a sensibility that is fully in focus, one that expresses a reverence for humanity and nature as two participants in a greater whole. Eschewing unnecessary artifice and the latest literary fads, she writes poems, it seems, only from necessity, from great faith in a possible world. In selecting THE LEAF PATH for the 1981 King County Arts Commission Publication Project, Susan Griffin "Emily Warn's poetry is feeling, moving, dealing with the powerful and deepest part of being, yet delicately, even precisely crafted. This is a new voice we will all be blessed for hearing."
