Golden Aspens and Silver Wings, Our Shared Fragile Earth is a book of powerful poems
and over 50 beautiful illustrations of wild animals, birds, pets, people and the earth,
written with hopes for increased compassion and respect for those with whom we share this beautiful world.
This is a joint project between the writer and the illustrator who both want to emphasize
the value of all lives and voices.
These poems are voices- calls from the earth from many, thoughts and worries from others,
At times, these poems, although written with a devotion which underlies the whole book,
do not soften or ignore the concerns for and threats to our shared world.
It is the truth of value, beauty, equality, togetherness and an overriding love
for the earth which inspires this book.
It is written for people who care about the natural world, who like birding and hiking
and camping and care about all varieties of animals from bison, coyotes, deer, rabbits
and more, people who care about the all the earth’s forests and jungles and rivers and lakes.
It also written for those who visit and support National and State Parks,
National Wildlife Refuges, and local and National groups and organizations
whose work is critical for the survival of our earth, birds, wildlife and all creatures.
