“Whether writing about the changing seasons in her garden or the changing seasons of our lives, for Staudt, every moment is infused with the holy. She has a deep way of listening to the world. Whether writing about her mother’s death or family trips to the beach, even her conversations with difficult biblical figures, draw us deeply into her reverence and gratitude for life itself. What a privilege and a pleasure to read these poems.”
