Genius Loci

This is the third collection of poems from Alison Deming, a writer who combines science and art in ways that few others seem able to do. There is much to be enjoyed here, especially for those who care about the natural world and our troubled relationship to it. I read this collection while camping in the wilderness and felt that her poems very much enriched my experience. Overall, this is a very fine collection. Incidentally, if you have never read Deming's work, don't miss her set of poems called "Monarchs." It is superb.
