"Intimate and elemental, rooted in earth, sky and a mystic wisdom, the poems in James Scott Smith's Water, Rocks and Trees are 'hymns of / becoming.' Each is the 'old soul' of the book's first poem, the work of a gracious and trusty guide, observant, nimble, never didactic, ever an acolyte of the infinite."
-Catherine Abbey Hodges, author of Instead of Sadness
