Inhaltsangabe

Storm Farmer is a beautiful, poetic offering from the creative voice of Tracey Gass Ranze. This compilation of poems observes life through the lens of the heart, leaving the reader immersed in the full emotion of the experience; whether it is a winter storm or a peace march, one feels touched. In Gass Ranze's first collection of poems, selected from over 30 years of writing, she expresses her love of life and open spirit in poetic storytelling at its best. Storm Farmer moves powerfully through six chapters of verse, where even ordinary events are rendered into instinctual moments of frank honesty. Throughout this book,, these poems speak to the invisible power that weaves people together as one human family on earth. This book delivers a fresh perspective of life in community with family, nature, spirit, justice and politics, often with an alternative view. Storm Farm introduces Gass Ranze as a powerful and progressive leading voice in the revolutionary times of this new century.

    The Old White Church

    1. Overlooking a crossroad of traffic and lives
    an old church once perched on a hill
    big and boxy with the clapboard painted white
    standing closer to heaven

    an old church once perched on a hill

    keeping watch over ancestral bones
