The Stones Keep Watch invites the reader to attend to the slow wisdom of nature, the beauty and fragility of our world, and the power we have to be both protective and destructive of it. Poems that give voice to awe and reverence are interwoven with poems that convey a sense of responsibility for the climate crisis, the pandemic, and the political decisions that impact our planet. The stones and trees that existed long before the arrival of humans are watching to see how we manage the ecological crisis we have triggered and what sort of world we will leave behind.
