At a time when the natural world is so immediately threatened, Elizabeth Herron reminds us what it is we love so much about it. -Susan Page Tillett, executive director Mesa Ridge These are necessary poems, born from an understanding of the need to protect our lovely blue-green planet, the only home we know. -Lucille Lang Day, author of Becoming an Ancestor and Infinities, coeditor of Fire and Rain: Ecopoetry of California Pure love of the world of nature ... a merging into the greater whole of the other-than-human world ... an embodiment of the sacred. -Gail Entrekin, editor of Canary, author of Rearrangement of the Invisible Like deep breaths drawn effortlessly in, the poems and images of Insistent Grace are satisfying to the core. -Arthur Dawson, author of Where the World Begins: Sonoma Mountain Stories and Images Elizabeth Herron evokes Mother Nature's insistent grace - a power that compels respect and can help us heal ourselves and our planet. -Marilou Awiakta, author of Selu: Seeking the Corn Mother's Wisdom
