"Gaia exemplifies the earth as a living entity, which we must preserve and sustain for our children," says sculptor Dora Natella, whose work adorns the cover of Nan Lundeen's cautionary collection of poems, Gaia's Cry. As global warming accelerates, Nan asks what form Gaia will take during her grandson Elijah's lifetime. Ancient goddess myths and Native American legends enrich her vision of Earth's startling beauty in a book that alerts, informs, and seeks strength in the courage of yellow wildflowers.
