About the Book

These poems are my prayer "to create the totality of my loves into a living bridge for my progeny to cross." The richness of these western lands, peoples and their culture are reflected each day in cliffs towering above our new home. Our senses are sharpened by their strangely beautiful spires and by the fragrances of our local flora, by ravens' and quails' cries, and by coyotes' singing. The Navajo heritage is expressed in the woven testaments of their lives, in their rugs created from the natural colored wools of their sheep and with dye colors of desert plants. It is also in the native gems, the garnets, malachite, and jaspers they fashion into silver rings and necklaces. But above all, it is the love and care they have for all their children in their songs and prayers. The values their medicine men and women teach during healing meetings have allowed the Navajos to survive in our present culture. I also recognize that this country of red rocks has called out to people from around the world and resonates with something innate and beautiful in all our hearts. So I dedicate these poems as a small offering of tribute to all of us who have had the good fortune to come here.
About the Author: Adele Seronde was born in 1925, educated at the Madeira School and Bennington College. She was married in 1945, and has five children, eleven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Born into a family of six generations of artists, Seronde inherited talent as both a painter and poet. She has had solo and group exhibitions all over the East Coast of America, in the Southwest, and also in Italy. Her children's poetry is used in many schools, and she has published or contributed to five other books of poetry. Her first book in prose, Our Sacred Garden: the Living Earth, reflects her deep concern with our environmental crisis. It also speaks of her experiences in community activism as a co-director of Visual Art for "Summerthing," the Mayor of Boston's Neighborhood Arts Festival (1968-'72), and later as founder of Gardens for Humanity, a program to help build or catalyze gardens in schools, community or retirement centers, on reservations, and in urban areas. Her new book, Pegasus: Education with Wings is using this ancient Greek myth as a metaphor for the changes needed in America's educational system, to allow it to fly! She currently lives in Sedona, Arizona, and summers on Mt. Desert Island in Maine.
