Evidence of Flossing de Jennifer A Payne

Evidence of Flossing

Jennifer A Payne

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2017

The poems in EVIDENCE OF FLOSSING: WHAT WE LEAVE BEHIND are, at their heart, love poems to the something greater within all of us. Inspired by Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and Mary Oliver, naturalist Jen Payne explores the essence of spiritual ecology: the human condition juxtaposed to the natural world and the possibility of divine connection. NPR contributor David Berner calls it, "an unflinching account of our unshakeable relationship to the modern world…God, nature, and ourselves." 80 original and vintage color photographs include a series of discarded dental flossers that prompted the title of the book.
