Eyes Open, Listening

Poetry by award winning poet Janet Watson. Much of what Janet Watson has observed and experienced in the fullness of everyday life finds a place in her poetry. In her latest book, Eyes Open, Listening, she urges the reader to discover a similar awareness. Whether whimsical or insightful, about nature or people, her poems often engage the senses to travel beyond the physical realm. “From the moment of conception we are connected to everything else in the universe,” she says. “It is this connectedness that inspires me to write poetry.”
