Kathleen Dean Moore, author of Earth’s Wild Music

“In Vicki Graham’s poetry, close attention becomes gratitude, becomes beauty, becomes healing. Listen, I tell my friend, to what Vicki says about the cedar that splits its own heart. Remember, I tell myself, what she says about the thrush’s gentle question. The poems are more than beautiful. Like earthy aphorisms, they are wonderfully wise. I would follow her compass into the darkest forest, through the deepest grief.”
