Underground Rivers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781888996500)

"With rare insight, clarity, and grace, Peggy Shumaker charts both the minutiae of miniature lives and the grand and cosmic movements affecting earth's more imposing denizens. She tracks the profound and subtle dislocations or illuminations of self inspired by the closest regard of our natural world. This volume brims with the gifts and losses, struggles and triumphs that the poet gleans from nature, and which both instruct and sustain us all. Bearing an exquisite beauty and purity, these poems soar."

--Maurya Simon, author of Days of Awe and The Golden Labyrinth

"I doubt that I can praise a poet more highly."

--David Lee
