<p>The Tree at the Center is a beautiful debut volume of poetry that is intelligent and sincere in its look at our wilderness mother, indeed our Heavenly Mother, and the language of women. This book breaks through silence and is also full of an honest look at the speaker’s own experience with motherhood. The poems speak about a voice, at this / distant opening in the sky / not of humankind, not of beast or rain, / that breaks my heart / open as Rilke’s birds do (“Horizon”). In that rich language and voice found here we get to experience something both new and familiar and dear. Something that stirs and is wild. In Kathryn’s words: There / is the Mother, on bended knee / in the great mind of the body, / spurring the horses on / and on and on (“Labor”).—Laura Stott, author of In the Museum of Coming and Going</p>

<p>Who is Heavenly Mother, and do we have an individual imperative to seek Her as we do the Father and the Son? If so, how do we come to know Her? In The Mother Tree, poet and landscape architect Kathryn Knight Sonntag addresses the rising world-wide hunger to know a Mother God by asking these and other stirring questions. What follows is an exploration into the symbolic realm of the tree of life, Mother's chosen metaphor in scripture, to discover Her regenerative powers in root work, the joy of presence in the grounded now of Her trunk, and the divine wisdom of the heavens in Her leafy crown. The Mother Tree presents a generous new framework for spiritual ascent-the feminine path of transformation through the archetypal tree-as a complement to the more familiar masculine way, pointing ultimately to the harmony of feminine and masculine wisdom; a balance needed for the healing of the soul and the world.</p>
