A lyric collection of poetry exploring contemporary rural/agrarian life in Eastern Oregon. These poems are rooted in place and season. They explore loss, change, transformation, and inter-species sharing. Celebrating sound and expressing a variety of poetic forms, Sher A. Schwartz's poems reveal the poet's life with hunting dogs, donkeys, birds, and the ever-changing environment.
This is a collection written with musical lyricism by someone who understands that healing the land heals us as well.
-Caroline Boutard, author of Each Leaf Singing
[Schwartz] has an eye for the illuminating detail, which she sets to a music all her own, ...a graceful, often witty, call for humans to realize their interconnectedness with nature, all of us sharing space on this fragile ark.
-Kim Hamilton, author of Calling Through Water
Every reader will want to be aboard The Beautiful One's Ark as Noah's wife saves a drowning dragonfly. This whole collection constitutes a love song to the writer's husband, their farm, and all the animals on that farm...
-Penelope Scambly Schott, author of Waving Fly Swatters at Angels
