We are thrilled to announce the publication of a new poetry collection, “Space that Carries Light Forever” by Robert Rice. This chapbook was selected by Jane Hirshfield as one of two to be published in a national contest conducted by Wildhouse Poetry.
The poems of praise and loss in “Space that Carries Light Forever” examine the natural world as a local expression of the cosmos. By exploring the mountains and rivers of the world around us they move toward a fusion with the geography of our inner world, showing that in the mindfulness created by our experiences of nature lies our best hope of addressing human problems. As well as notes from the wilderness they include news from the edge of consciousness, wintry prayers, and the happiness of the small ordinary, even within the context of ecological peril.
Available now in bookstores and from Wildhouse, Ingram and Amazon, we invite you to pick up a copy today .
