My medicines
I like to be prepared, so I carry my medicines with me wherever I go, Tylenol and the like. This book along with the other two in the trilogy are my soul medicines & I don't leave home without them. The first picture is of them reversed from how they sit in my backpack so it shows on top, the second is how I actually carry them (the other two books are poetry books by Leslie Anderson, his wife. Hers are every bit as important to me as his so they're in the photo too. ) This book, same as its predecessors, is nothing short of vital. It's a harsh world right now and I think we all need the reminders within, namely that we are the beauty in the world no matter how it's spinning, no matter the age we're in. This will be your least regrettable purchase this year I promise, buy this book and the others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and profound
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2023

After getting the first two books, I eagerly looked forward to this one. I was not disappointed. In addition to his usual wonderful thoughtful nature observations, there is definite focus at times on mental health. As someone who has had struggles with mental health, several of the poems spoke strongly to me. The image of the minotaur as dark depression in the poem Around the Corners was insightful and worthy of being considered again and again. It has the strong minotaur imagery interspersed with common, unhelpful comments people make to the depressed. "The dirt is clotted with easy answers and old blood." The poem Unerring also really resonated with me. But lest you think the book is all about mental health, be
reassured that his usual perceptions about nature are quite present in the book from the voice of bumblebees to deer skulls.

"Exquisite" because Jarod's poetry squeezes the heart, jangles the mind, and delights the senses. His words bleed truth and always leave me feeling comforted and seen. I especially appreciate how he treats depression - with a fierce gentleness and courage to allow himself to be carried by the flow of the natural world, fearlessly.

I grew up thinking I didnt like poetry. Turns out I didnt like rhymes that I didnt connect to emotionally.
This series (yes, I have all 3 books) is such wonderful work. I truly feel these words in my soul and I especially like the nature connection.
Just. Beautiful.

I have all three books in this trilogy. His poetry is insightful, funny, and mind-expanding. When a poem causes me to wonder, giggle, feel amazement or cry, I dog-ear the corner. The folded paper makes it quick for me to revisit. You can see that many pages are turned down. Great collection!

Jared has a special way with words and metaphors. Rarely have I encountered such soft and poignant words. Each poem offering a new, beautiful perspective.
As other two books, Leaf Litter also made me feel vulnerable and sensitive to the world and people around us, in the most positive way.

My household is sick. This is a gift to my household from me, it arrived today.

I have to admit that I am not an unbiased reader, I have loved both of the author's previous works.

In concise, precise lines that somehow seem luxurious, Jarod weaves words that feel comforting to weary eyes. I can only enjoy a few pages at a time, but I'm not complaining, the space in between allows time for reflection (and therapeutic naps and snacks)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 25, 2023

Anderson's poetry is absolutely beautiful, full of love and forgiveness to a self that we too rarely remember is a part of the world and deserving of care. As with his others I tried not to rush through, tried to read a couple at a time, but they're so good, gently reminding, surprisingly funny that it's almost impossible not to get carried away. I will read anything this man writes.
