The poems in On Shifting Shoals feel as cleansing as the ocean, as essential and elemental as water itself. In each one, Joanne Durham urges us to listen/between roar and purr, and to savor those in-between moments of observation and close attention that she brings shimmering to life on every page. I could not be more grateful for her deep presence in this work, and in the world.
James Crews, Poet and Editor of The Path to Kindness: Poems of Connection & Joy
Joanne Durham brings the personal and the intimate to her keen observational poems of the natural world. From watching orange butterflies and blossoms blend into one, to noticing how a Christmas tree repurposed on a dune still shines as the graced/do, to observing ghost crabs emerge from tunnels on the beach at night disturbed by humans/with menacing eyes...., Durham's poems compel us to marvel, and feel deeply, about the world around us.
