AUTHOR’S BOOK DESCRIPTION

‘Tis the gift to be simple, ’tis the gift to be free
‘Tis the gift to come down where I ought to be . . . .
~ Shaker song attributed to Joseph Brackett

The simple pleasures of our favorite places in nature are gifts of the spirit to be shared with others. In this collection of 53 haiku, each paired with a nature photograph, poet Liz Gauffreau invites readers to come with her to some of her favorite places in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Some places are long-time favorites going back years; others have become favorites by virtue of inspiring poetry.

I love to read and write book reviews in my free time. I review advance review copies of books on Netgalley for various publishers. I am also a reviewer for Historical Novels Review Magazine, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society. I review books from publishers of all size, large to small. I have a special place in my heart for indie authors. I will sometimes post a little writing that I might dabble in occasionally. I also am lucky enough to live in the Smoky Mountains, so I'll be sharing photos of the beauty around me from time to time.

  1. Congratulations, Liz!! I need to pick up a copy. I have always been in love with the New England states, stemming from my childhood vacations. And I love the cover!

  2. This sounds wonderful! Haiku is my fav poetic form. Looking forward to this one. Did you say you will have a review forthcoming? If so, will you post a few sample haiku poems from the book so we can get an idea of what to expect from the book?
