Nature as the Compass of the Heart: A Poetic Autobiography

Title: Nature as the Compass of the Heart: A Poetic Autobiography
Description: This chapter from the student-written book “Emerging Perspectives on Religion and Environmental Values in America” uses a collection of the author's poetry to explore his relationship to nature and religion. It explores self-expression and how the arts can help motivate environmental action. Below is the first paragraph of the chapter to introduce the piece.

"Dear Reader, How shall you live today? Will you watch the sunrise? The sunset? Will you drive your car with the windows down, sticking your hand out the window to catch the fresh air passing through your outstretched fingers? Maybe cook a meal with a friend in a kitchen filled with delicious smells and sounds? Or will you call a loved one? Hear their voices, their stories."
