A Wild Silence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781733216395)

A Wild Silence is an excellent collection of quality poems. Noland's depth of relationship to the natural world, and mindfulness to how the external world mirrors our internal world is apparent in his work. This is a collection celebrating the flora and fauna from which we have risen and co-evolved, a collection which celebrates most especially, the beauty and magic of birds and their relation to our heart, our healing, and our hope, such as this excerpt from An Apprentice of Sparrows: I watchedand waited, triedto bean apprenticeto those sparrowswho bundlewithin themselvessongs of beginnings, who believetheir joybuilds a worldnoteby note.
