In these poems, Rita Simmonds breathes fresh new life into the Christmas narrative and more. Reverent yet reinvigorating, delightful yet profound, personal yet universal, these poems draw us anew into our own relation to the Infant Birth, to the Star we seek to follow, to holiday traditions, even to the trees that we adorn at Christmas yet have a life of their own year round. GREETING THE SEASONS is a gift for us all. Peggy Rosenthal, author of THE POETS' JESUS
