by Margaret B. Ingraham (Author)
Margaret B. Ingraham's collection Exploring this Terrain bids the reader to join her in a journey of discovery. In a world in which speed is increasingly regarded as a virtue and distraction is its inevitable consequence, each of these poems offers escape and consolation. One by one they invite the reader to be still, to observe, to listen, to "taste and see" - and ultimately to experience the wonder that only attention can discover hiding in the thin places within the various terrains of our everyday lives.
"What is the terrain that Margaret Ingraham explores in Exploring this Terrain? It ranges from the Blue Ridge Mountains to Pluto. The path crosses the trails of memory and illness, the natural world and disintegration, and various parts unseen. Yet it stays, as Margaret says near the end of the book, in the 'secret places of my brokenness.' It is the beautiful landscape of wonder, the uneven country of love, the difficult ground of faith." --Loren Graham, author of Places I Was Dreaming.Author Biography
