An ode to nature and the wilderness, this
collection of 55 poems is a celebration of the natural world as seen through
the human eye. This book is about the age-old human connection with the flowers
and the trees and how observing it leads to a connection with the Divine. A few
of the poems are an inside look into the poet’s childhood and family, tying in
with his deep connection with the woods and the great outdoors. Jack Mayer
looks for the sacred in the smallest of creatures in the memories of his hikes
and reveres God’s presence in everything. There is the sense of awareness
communicated with brilliance in Mayer’s poetry, the wonderment at observing
nature, the miracle of a throbbing heart, and those intangible things that
silently tug at the human spirit; they are captured in these poetic utterances.
Poems
from the Wilderness by Jack Mayer is a unique and
wonderful collection of poems that will make you reflect upon nature that we
tend to overlook in our busy lives. It makes you look mindfully at the flora
and fauna around you and helps you connect with the spirit of nature with the
magic of expertly crafted verses. Jack Mayer has a refreshing and reflective
voice that portrays his generous spirit and the beautiful Vermont trails. A
doctor by profession, he crafts poems inspired by his medical practice. With
his connection with the walking trails, his recollections of hikes he has been
on, Jack Mayer observes the human world with a scientific eye and acknowledges
how some experiences just can’t be explained with science and logic.
Likened to the greats such as Han Shan and
Gary Snyder, Jack Mayer’s words communicate the awe of contemplating the spirit
of the woods and nature. Reverent of the American scenery, Mayer’s free verse
depicts his oneness with the wilderness of Vermont. If you are looking for a
book of poems that will rekindle your spirit and ground your core, Poems from
the Wilderness by Jack Mayer is just the book you want to pick up!
