Poetry Friday is hosted today by The Poem Farm.
For Poetry Friday -- "Earthshake; Poems From The Ground Up" by Lisa Westberg Peters with pictures by Cathie
Felstead.
Peters
lets geology inspire her 22 verses in this collection that is intended as
entertainment rather than science lessons. Nevertheless, sparkling bits of information
sprinkle the poetic creations. Peters shares her passion for a wide range of
geological topics -- from the power of volcanoes and continental drift to the
delicate crystals hidden in the heart of a geode or the story in a fossil clam.
Felstead's
imaginative art work varies from poem to poem capturing the essence of the
verse and hinting at the geology underlying the words.
