Tender, soft, juniper's essence infuses every page, there's an herb for that is alive with warmth. I feel my own knowing within hers, the breathing, the heartache, the sweet and simple joys of living. This book is morning meditation and sipping hot tea. Devotional, reading these poems have become a daily ritual.
- Hannah Elizabeth King, author of We all are Wanders
there's an herb for that reveals a human heart in process with Life, Time, Death, and the inevitable in-betweens. It reminds us of our human nature, as in our bodies/souls/spirits being nature and not for a moment separate. The feeling of standing at the center of it all, of being in love, of facing great loss, of grieving, and standing open armed and open hearted to the mystery of it all - plants pierce their way through the heart of the poems and cycles of time remind us to tune into their turning.
- Madrone McCarthy, co-owner of Hedgerow Herb Co
This collection of poems is a triumph at beckoning weary readers and tending to our spirits with reminders of connection and joy. Juniper examines the complicated truths of the human experience like a botanical witch unflinchingly details the seasonal failures and successes and the spirit of the plants they sow, harvest, forage, leave, and cherish. The juiciness of growth, play, and longing swirl in a dance with the melancholic husks of pain, endings, and unrequited affections. As she notes, not all seeds flourish but it is in this seeing and reflection that we gather gifts and make the medicine we need to nurture love and to thrive.
- Avis Barlow, author of Corpus Memoria: Hair
