Thelma Barlow Blaxall Nature Echo Series Book 1

Annotation

I belong to the Wilderness Society, the Sierra Club, and other organized groups whose goals are to seek to preserve the wilderness and wild animals. I naturally thought about preservation of life and survival when I wrote the poems in Nature Echo Book 1. In Nature Echo Book 2, I took actual happenings in my own life; again, the themes were about preservation of life with its challenges. Challengesto grow in knowledge, to face the death of my husband the death of a child, etc.became uppermost in my daily life. Even the disruption of a forest for a housing development stimulated my interest in thepreservation of wetlands. It is hoped that these poems will create an interest in these issues.
