Summer Rains

In her new collection, Summer Rains, Jacqueline Marcus continues her metaphysical journey in search of the meaning of death, loss and identity where the "natural world is a reflection of the eternal". Her poems are melancholic and hauntingly somber over the loss of our vanishing wilderness lands. Her politics are rooted in a longing for a more just society based on compassion and empathy. With a deep reverence for the natural world, and an acute awareness of the threat of climate change, she has been writing about the preservation of nature long before "eco-poetry" became a fashionable phrase of our time.
