“A tender and powerful interplay between the inner life and the outer landscape.”
The New York Times Spelling Bee attracts a large following of enthusiastic word lovers who delight in the daily challenge of ferreting out a list of from a seemingly-random array of seven letters. A handful of Bee solvers delights in the challenge of composing poetry, essays, and more with words from the daily game. Portals compiles a selection of work by one of these “Hive poets” known as “peregrine from the rocky shore.” This volume, the third in a series, presents more than 150 poems (some not previously published) that explore our relationship with the natural world, as well as meditations on memory, solitude, and love. Readers who have come to appreciate peregrine’s poetry will be delighted to find 68 sonnets in this volume, along with the earliest poems in the Bartlett Bay series.

Über den Autor
peregrine leads a quiet life in her native New England, loving and grateful for its farms, forests, rivers, and meadows, and especially grateful for its northern rocky shore, where her heart lies. A lifelong love of words, writing, and ideas has led her through a small but varied life experience that has encompassed research and library management, technical and creative writing, editing, indexing, and more. Since her childhood on a very modest small farm, where rambling in wild woods and meadows was as essential to a growing child as reading and music, she has been a keen observer of the natural world and especially to our response to it. She is proud to be close friends with several particular trees in her backyard and at various places around New England, recognizes the individual bears in her neighborhood, and has developed a special expertise in observing and describing how the wind and sun play on the waters of a favorite little saltwater bay at the rocky shore.
