Sandy Carlson (https://sandycarlson.net) visits with UK writer Steve Walter, whose recent book A Lighter Metal was recently released by Orenaug Mountain Publishing."We are connected to all that have ever existed throughout evolution, from the beginning of life itself, the creation of earth, other planets, stars, and their elements, which have become an essential, living part of us," says Walter. "We need to appreciate the stillness of things, the nature of life, its essence, responding to the world through our senses, for instance, as we notice the angle of the light, cool breeze on the face, birdsong, contact with the earth, perhaps even the heady scents of summer."For more about this podcast, visit https://peopleandtheirpoems.net.
