Eve A River Flowing: Poems

By Jane Bauer

This collection of poems, Eve--a River Flowing, focuses on the crisis and comfort of Eve, the original woman.

The book is split into two chapters, "Eve's Crisis" and "Eve's Comfort."

Chapter 1, "Eve's Crisis," captures in the mind of the reader the things in the modern world that cause Eve crisis. Chapter 2, "Eve's Comfort," focuses on aspects of our world that give Eve comfort.

The poems speak of God, spirit, the universe, Mother Nature, and the importance of our relationship to all of the above.

They also speak of modern Western pop culture and its downfalls, the importance of the natural world, and the threat of technology to our primordial connections.

Eve attempts through the poems to give humanity tips or guidance as to how we could "do better" and improve "life" for all and life with the earth.

Introductory Poem: Eve-a River Flowing

Eve—a river flowing through creation.

Flowing over hills and desert sands,

with dry arid land, sifting through rugged farmer's hand.

Flowing and nourishing bird and beast, earth and tree.

Her life-giving flow, this sacred river, in our depths we already know.

Her presents bringing water from snowy mountain peaks, to wide open seas.

Her force moving from stormy skies above, trickling and gathering, racing and loving, hard and fast, across this vast open land.

Feeding all at hand, with her joy of creation and man.

Feeding the earth, giving worth to everything in need.

Awakening dormant sleeping seeds.

Seeds waiting to burst
