The Wonder of Small Things

MindfulnessWriting
Written By James Crews

My latest anthology, The Wonder of Small Things: Poems of Peace & Renewal, is now available for pre-order! You can buy copies wherever books are sold, or order signed copies by following the link below to my local indie bookstore, Battenkill Books. This is all-new collection of highly accessible poems that celebrates moments of wonder and awe in everyday life. As I write in the introduction: “A deep love for the world is present in every one of the poems gathered in this book. Wonder calls us back to the curiosity we are each born with, and it makes us want to move closer to what sparks our attention. Wonder opens our senses and helps us stay in touch with a humbling sense of our own human smallness in the face of unexpected beauty and the delicious mysteries of life on this planet.” This book of poems and writing prompts is sure to invite more peace and renewal into your own daily life.
