作者介紹

作者介紹 Gayle Boss writes from West Michigan, where she was born and raised. Her lifelong love of animals and her immersion in spiritual texts and practices have melded in poems and essays that explore how relationships with animals specifically, and an attentive presence in the natural world generally, restore us to our deepest selves. Also the author of Wild Hope: Stories for Lent from the Vanishing, Gayle lives with her husband and Welsh corgi rescue. "Writing about animals and the human-animal bond is the writing that enthralls me. I've found it true, what the thirteenth-century mystic Meister Eckhart said: 'God is equally near in all creatures.' Many human creatures and two corgis have loved me and encouraged my work. Beyond them, the creatures and landscapes of Michigan's west coast, often wounded, open to me wonder after wonder." -- Gayle Boss Sharon Spitz is an award-winning illustrator and graphic designer currently based between Berlin and Haifa. Graduate with honors from the Department of Visual Communication in The NB Haifa School of Design (B.Des.). In her works, she expresses her love of animals and her interest in environmental issues, drawing inspiration from music, surreal art, and nature. Sharon enjoys experimenting with various techniques and styles.
