A slave to plant cryptography, she feels
the garden’s myths pass through stems,
a living alphabet of growth.

How cool! Step Gently Out is featured in the April 2012 Journal of the Arthur Rackham Society.
The greatest artist of the “Golden Age” of illustration, Rackham is one of my favorites, and it’s a real treat to see Step Gently Out amongst the wonderful Rackham art.
For more information, visit the Arthur Rackham Society.

with no time to waste, waking sleepy clouds
from their spring sleep.
