A lyric collection of poetry exploring contemporary rural/agrarian life in Eastern Oregon. These poems are rooted in place and season. They explore loss, change, transformation, and inter-species sharing. Celebrating sound and expressing a variety of poetic forms, Sher A. Schwartz's poems reveal the poet's life with hunting dogs, donkeys, birds, and the ever-changing environment.


"This is a collection written with musical lyricism by someone who understands that healing the land heals us as well."

-Caroline Boutard, author of Each Leaf Singing


"[Schwartz] has an eye for the illuminating detail, which she sets to a music all her own, ...a graceful, often witty, call for humans to realize their interconnectedness with nature, all of us sharing space on this fragile ark."

-Kim Hamilton, author of Calling Through Water


"Every reader will want to be aboard The Beautiful One's Ark as Noah's wife saves a drowning dragonfly. This whole collection constitutes a love song to the writer's husband, their farm, and all the animals on that farm..."

-Penelope Scambly Schott, author of Waving Fly Swatters at Angels


Schwartz, Sher A.: - Sher A. Schwartz is a published essayist, poet, old time fiddle musician, singer, and retired professor. She was born in Georgia, raised in Virginia, and spent many summers in rural West Virginia with her mother's family. Her vocal training, beginning at twelve, and later rhythm guitar playing in an old-time string band laid the foundation for the musicality in Schwartz's poetry. Schwartz has written country and mountain folk songs and composed classical hymns. She lived for many years in a cabin on the beach in Alaska while teaching in the humanities department at the University of Alaska in Ketchikan. Her band Red Hoochie and the Tomcods played at festivals and events around Southeast Alaska. In 2011, she retired from academic life and moved to Eastern Oregon, where she's trained and competed with her hunting dogs, and helped restore two hundred acres on an old farm to native grasslands and pollinator plants. Schwartz has continued to perform with the old-timey Sugar Hill Band throughout the Columbia River Gorge, though she writes more poetry these days than songs and essays.
