Notable poets have often been referenced when talking about poets and nature. We must add Patsy Asuncion to the top of that list. Her latest book, A Universe of Belonging, is spectacular and relevant. Using the four categories of earth, wind, water, and fire, she gives us all we need to know about how poets view the world.
-Sara M. Robinson, poet and author of eight award-winning books
Patsy Asuncion's A Universe of Belonging is a collection of love letters, laments, and psalms that spans the cosmos, from its astronomical cover page to its sections grounded in the elements of earth, fire, air, and water. These poems go beyond 'nature poetry, ' to human-induced destruction. We are not spared the horrors happening today; yet hope and resilience are the warp and the weft of this book.
-Bill Prindle, Charlottesville Live Poets Society moderator, award-winning poet, and author of Medicine Cache Under Lichen
Patsy Asuncion's voice has grown stronger in her books of poetry: Cut On The Bias, Lineage of Weeds, and now A Universe of Belonging. Lines from her poem Peace echo the wonder of her reach, If only more people walked in the woods among the other creatures in nature. A Universe of Belonging will stir your soul and embrace your spirit.
-Caroline Brae, poet, musician, dancer, photographer, and author of three books
