The words of A Voice Downstream encourage one to take their time. Jeanne Bartlett's writing illustrates the power of being present and witnessing, whether it is a squirrel on the clothesline, the scent from a hemlock branch, or the death of a loved one. She can do this in as few as 17 syllables, though thankfully, she often gives us more. This collection brings together her life's work: poetry and prose that explore nature, kinship, aging, loss, writing itself, and often the place these occupy within the larger world. Her words flow with accessible insight, curiosity, humor, and beauty, filling this volume with a great affection for life, wonder in the quotidian, and regard for the world.
