Landscapes and Observations

Description

A grasshopper landing on his knee. Swirls in the carpet left by the vacuum. A  heron calling. A chair sitting upright in the median of the highway. Chance encounters with God on street corners. A bike ride. An amazing stack of pancakes. A failed quest to find paw paws. In Landscapes and Observations, Michael Ratcliffe shares with us what he sees in the world around him, sometimes
finding the sacred in the ordinary; sometimes simply an interesting anecdote. In these poems, Ratcliffe brings the geographer’s eye for landscape observation together with his interests in spirituality, philosophy, and the ordinary things that make us human.
