Appalachian Lullabies

This 54-page self-published collection is comprised of 46 poems and one essay with cover art by Artist Jackie Rubino.. The poems are teachings from nature, weaving her infinite reminders to slow-in and listen. They are conversations and meditations on talking with the animals and ancestors that hold and pattern a way through the more than human world. A handful were published in a limited edition publication titled Soft With Me published in 2021, yet most were written in 2023 while studying writing and storytelling as medicine. I hope these poems touch a space within you, to quiet in and listen.
