"Not the typical book of poems you peruse and then store on a shelf. I find myself astonished at their radiant beauty and wisdom, reaching again and again for them through seasons and cycles within the human soul and Nature. Una's book is a prescient road map for the heart; its journey of joy and sorrow, wandering and wondering, remembering and reaching - the perceptive passion and power of a soul pilgrimage that is named and claimed. A book not to leaf through but to live through. May you walk its pages with your heart."- Patricia Kaminski: author, Flowers That Heal

"Una Kobrin's poems have been created from an inspired place, full of rich, beautiful imagery and a depth of feeling and insight. Her nature poems are extraordinary, the work of an experienced gardener and mystic, immersing us in a world of enchantment and wonder. Her poems are subtle, with often unexpected perspectives that reward multiple readings; a book to savor, like a fine wine."- Ralph Dranow: author, A New Life: Poems; with Daniel Marlin, At Work on the Garments of Refuge

"... Una's poems... have taken me to heights and depths, to places hidden in the soul, to moments of humor, wonder, illumination, empathy, self-realization. They are beautifully written and without affectation. This book is a gift!" - Kathleen Fenton: artist

"Una Kobrin's poems let the reality outside ourselves open up what's great within. The gift is her unique voice, a blend of sensuality, beauty, and regular transcendental leaps that leave one in the pleasant grip of wonder."- Eliot Schain: author, The Distant Sound

"Una Kobrin takes delight in the physical world with luxurious descriptions of all that she sets her eyes on. Her poems invite the reader to share in that pleasure and partake in the sly playfulness at work in her writing.... Readers are bound to enjoy accompanying this lively poet in her quest."- Paula Friedman: author, Undreaming Landscapes

"Una Kobrin's nature poetry marries clear perception with insightful introspection. Her Madia poem demonstrates ... a masterful integration of soulful images with clear observations that stay true to the actual phenomena of the plant, and true to her own inner experience.... This is true soul medicine."-Richard Katz: co-director, Flower Essence Society

"With tenderness and humor, Una Kobrin's poems explore how the universe is contained in the smallest beings and experiences... a reminder to wake up to the wonder inherent in every moment, whether the moment is difficult, fleeting, sorrowful, exultant or mundane."

"Una's poems draw vivid images of our human potentials and possibilities. They are an invitation to slow down and reimagine our personal relationship with Nature."
