In his debut poetry collection, Water, Rocks and Trees, James Scott Smith explores our relationship to the natural world with a shamanistic sensibility. Smith’s yearning for connection, for a sense of belonging to the earth, the universe, permeates every poem. Whether describing the “death drop love dance / of the hummingbird” or the coyote with a “fresh kill of rabbit hanging / soft and surrendered in her mouth,” Smith revels in the intelligence and vibrancy of the more than human world. Here, man doesn’t conquer nature—he converses with it. It is a conversation I didn’t want to end. –Mary Reynolds Thompson, author of Embrace Your Inner Wild: 52 Reflections for an Eco-Centric World and Reclaiming
