In Spreading the Light Barbara Sherman weaves a world where rocks are full of grace and everything that grows and breathes has something to teach us. Spirits appear in the canyons and clouds, and each day we are alive is both gift and offering. Light spreads from the tender body of snail In the opening poem and transforms slowly across the pages, leaving us with the glow of a flower that blooms in the dark. Part memoir and part nature journal, Sherman's poetry is a meditation on living in harmony with our natural world.
