ANCIENT WONDERS: THE MODERN WORLD is a sequence of six poems by Diane Jarvenpa that brings us to the crossroads where the mysteries of the past and the simple awe of the day-to-day meet.

Sheralyn Barnes provided six images to accompany each section. The images were printed from magnesium engravings made from the scratch-board originals.

"Diane Jarvenpa tells us there are things we cannot see: how flowers grow, what the prairie dreams, how summers come, where muskrats go. She honors too the complexities of the people closest to her, like her immigrant grandparents and her parents.

She knows there are some things that can only be explained with poetry. That is why these poems begin with words but always end in music."

—Jim Johnson, author of Wolves
