The Sky Between Us
Sky and ocean and mountain and meadow provide rich settings for the poet's exploration into what nature can teach us about being human. From mapping tidepools and surviving the Antarctic sunrise to an ant's view of the afterlife,these poems illuminate our voyages through love, loss and longing, not as individuals, but as the mysterious, beautiful "we."

*I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway which didn't influence my review.*
I don't usually read poetry (except the ones I used to read at school) so I have to say this was a "new adventure" for me!
Even if the book is only 67 pages, it is full of lovely and enjoyable poems... I loved reading 3 or 4 poems per day and I couldn't wait for the next day to come so I'd read more!
Like the author, I love nature too. So it was really a relaxing journey reading about rivers, mountains, landscapes and the relationship between humans and nature...
5/5
