"Reading the entire work is a pleasant enterprise--like being invited into a breezy kitchen to sit down for a cup of coffee and stories, told of both lovely and horrible things with an even hand....These are not still lives, but open invitations to peer inside the self inside the geode, to smell the rain, hold your breath watching a doe."

Wild Raspberries is a poetry of plain talk with images from the countryside and family life. Crisp and clear, these poems by Beth Paulson often have the feeling of haiku. Their task is truly "seeing" the world, a world far from cities and today's turmoil, for their author seeks respite in reflection on nature. An epigraph that opens one poem, "A poem is a walk" (A. R. Ammons) expresses the book's philosophy as the poet invites us to join her in seeking the "comfort of stones" and the lessons of the fox.
