In a world filled with cows, cormorants, dogs, mola molas, crows, bullfrogs, wrens, box turtles, chickens, bears, opossums, mothers, daughters, and more, Sandy Longley is a protective presence. And distinctive and refreshing in the world she has created is that some of these creatures talk back. Runner-up to the Morgenthau Prize for a first book by a poet 70 or older, Mothernest gives voice to the passion, wisdom and freedom age brings.--Publisher.
