About Tricia Elliott
I am mom, partner, writer… with experience in medicine, teaching, and the woods.
Our family, 4 humans & 2 dogs, lives in a yurt on a wooded ridge in Alaska, where our neighbors include bears, moose, and owls.
During my days I feed the wood stove, haul water, plow the road, dry wet things, pack lunches, and write.
For a feature interview with Lis Mesa http://theselkie.co.uk/tricia-elliott-interview/
“When Martha Beck (Finding Your Own North Star) and Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love) share the work of a poet living and writing from a yurt in the Alaskan Wilderness, I knew I had to reach out, listen and learn.”

Love this soooo much my friend, especially this:
as if pressing it
to the thawing
could lend words
to a prayer
and release
the bright sounds of our
waking.
Yes, yes, yes, this is such a gorgeous ode to the unfolding of Spring.

Another beautiful piece Tricia!! Thank you for your willingness to share. Your sweet poem so perfectly captures a feeling that I’ve struggles with much of during winter and into the early transition of spring. Waking captures that exquisite place inetween winters incredulous hold and the magic of “hope” that spring permeates in all living things. Yes!!
