Make no mistake: the place where poetry is born is what drives the universe. Unlike any other art form, any other means of expression, it is poetry that can remind us to be awake to the present moment and can nudge us out of our sleep-walking daily lives. - from the author's preface
"David Weedmark was introduced to me as a legendary man with mystical qualities. As I've come to know him, I have learned that his mystique is actually in his ability to demystify. His collection of writings in First Stirrings is a beacon to what is right in front of us - a new perspective for many, but delightfully accessible even to those who may not typically reach for a book of poetry. Everything about this book - its conception, contents and publication - represents a new approach to possibility."
- Abby Hampton, Publisher, World in Motion Productions Inc.
