Once I Was a Stone

＂Emilie Lygren’s poems are pulse and heartbeat! Their clear vision restores our own bigger sight. Remember when we felt connected to everything? Emilie’s poems are gravity, immediate ground, wide horizon, ashes pitched off a cliff, creek stones carried up a mountain. I love their endearing truthfulness, beauty and lack of fear!＂ -Naomi Shihab Nye, author of Everything Comes Next
