Each poem is laced with affection for humanity, and has a curious, intimate take on the natural world. They acknowledge the wobbliness, uncertainty, and danger of an unknown future, and they are superb company along the way. Buff Bradley brings a heartening and playful voice to grave matters; his sensibility is steeped in delight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Julie Searle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have been reading Buff Whitman-Bradley's wonderful poems for many years now and am always grateful for the \"sweet moment of pause\" they give me to see the world with a fresh gaze. The poems offer not only new perspectives on the ordinary and everyday-a frog seeking a career in show biz, a mushroom praising its existence, a spring day arriving in a delivery truck-they also invite me to listen to and learn from the natural world, to \"cultivate quiescence and pay more attention to owls.\" As a grandfather, I want to share with my grandchildren the encouragement these poems offer for looking more closely at the world around us; and I welcome the time spent with oatmeal cookies, crickets and stars, wayfaring ladybugs, and friendly porch lights from distant galaxies.\u003cstrong\u003e-Rod Anderson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 10, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42731898142783,"sku":"9781646628582","price":25.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/6748ab25215cff1f9b56aa340f995f19.webp?v=1765130521","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-heron-could-be-lost-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
