Elizabeth Cunningham artfully weaves nature – with its wonders both grand and intimate, subtle and powerful – into the fabric of our human lived experience. Unflinching in her explorations of the seasons of our lives, her lyrical and insightful poetry brings nature home to us, and brings us home to nature. She calls up for us an exquisite poignancy born of the ‘fragile grace’ of both nature and humankind; with all the inherent vulnerabilities, and astounding beauty.

Elizabeth Cunningham takes us into the glories of living close to nature and the rich gifts of all the seasons, while reminding us of the potential of the perfidious elements of fire and frost, and the meaning of friendship. She catches the moment when the cherry blossoms become the stars in our shared universe.

In Watching the Light Below the Storm, Elizabeth Cunningham turns a photographer's eye and poet's finely tuned aesthetic on the play of light across landscape – and across a human life. From the cold-weather kindling of larches on the mountain slopes in autumn to the warm, familiar burn of companionship within a marriage, these poems are exquisitely wrought gifts that link the body to the land and one heart to another.
~ Jenna Butler, Poet, Editor, Environmentalist and Author of Revery: A Year of Bees
