Calling from the Back Roads Kathleen a Herrington

Rooted in natural imagery and containing a deep spiritual dimension, Kathleen Herrington's poetry is reminiscent of the Romantics. Through these poems, she explores themes of love, loss, identity, transformation, the role of "story" in our lives, and a longing for the divine. Her intuitive rendering of connections between place, people and animals imparts a quality of the unexpected and makes Calling from the Back Roads a powerful poetic world. These songs put us in touch with profound human truths through identification with nature. -Margaret M. Blanchard, The Rest of the Deer
