What Hummingbirds Do - Paperback

by Louise Cary Barden (Author)

WHAT HUMMMINGBIRDS DO celebrates the natural world while sharing the small, significant moments of joy, love, and loss that make up a life. In these poems we climb a white pine with a nine-year-old girl and shoot spring rapids in a canoe with a young couple. We see the white birches of the narrator's childhood home and the flaming wings of monarch butterflies in migration; we hear the wild calls of loons as they echo across a wilderness lake. And throughout this collection, we consider universal questions and choices we must make in marriage, environment, politics, and relationships in our search for fulfillment.
