Brooke Herter James' Spring Took the Long Way Around is a beautiful collection, each poem resonant with the strum of country life. These are poems of gentle reverence, skirting on the "dark edges of... wildness," the awareness of shadow giving each moment depth. They speak of family, of nature, of adolescent angst -- she deftly captures this in the tone-perfect "Southbound, Maine Turnpike, Labor Day" -- of illness and death. These quiet, skillful poems help us to slow down, to savor and notice. Sit down with this book, enjoy the peaceful acceptance of what is now, and of what we all will one day lose. Bask, for now, in James' gentle spring.

About the Author
James, Brooke Herter: - Brooke Herter James won her first creative writing award in eighth grade and her second many decades later. In between, she followed a circuitous path that included college, graduate school, public health nursing, and raising a family. Eight years ago, she remembered that grade school story and decided to circle back to what she loves to do most. SPRING TOOK THE LONG WAY AROUND is her second collection of poems. She is also the author of the children's picture book WHY DID THE FARMER CROSS THE ROAD? She is an active member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, a student in the Gotham Writers' Workshop, a graduate of the Yale Writers' Conference, and an enthusiastic member of the Woodstock Poetry Group. She lives in a very old house in Vermont with her husband, two donkeys, four chickens and a dog named Mack. (Actually, the donkeys and chickens live in the barn.)
