Many of the pieces included express wonder and appreciation for the gifts we share with each other and find in the natural world, through poignant depictions of place and time - thus the title. Others relate starkly revealing human encounters. There are love poems, political poems, dog poems, funny poems, and a small collection of telling limericks. In one poem, he asks himself, "Did you not see that she was real and you were just a character in your dream?"

Autorenporträt
Gus Speth, a writer of non-fiction and poetry, retired not long ago as dean of the Yale School of the Environment and as professor at the Vermont Law and Graduate School. Previously, he served in the United Nations and in the Administration of Jimmy Carter, and he helped to found the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the World Resources Institute (WRI), both of which, he says, flourished after he left. He is a fellow at the Wellbeing Economy Alliance, the Democracy Collaborative, and the Tellus Institute. Speth and his wife Cameron (Cece) and their dogs Folly and Callie divide their time between central Vermont and coastal South Carolina and will continue doing so as long as he and the dogs can hop in and out of the car.
