“Walk Deep‘s devoted, interconnected journey toward authenticity is alive with deep feeling. Like the mycorrhizal roots of an old-growth forest, these poems weave self, nature, and family within a living word-web.” –Annie Finch, Poet, Writing Teacher, Spells: New and Selected Poems and A Poet’s Craft
Walk Deep is an award- winning collection of poetry inspired by daily walks on Lopez Hill during the Pandemic. During a year of walking the same trail, Abigail turns towards the familiar and writes into the gifts of relationship- honoring the places and people that shape us in our daily lives.
