about Seasons—the Wind and Weather of Our Days: Celebrating Fear and Feeling Alive, is the third in the Footlocker Series of books. These works are a gathering of over fifty years of poetry and prose written by me, Robert Nichols. When I write, I seek to express what is most intimate in my experience in terms that reach a world of readers with universal connection. I’m not the only one out here who gets giddy with the chilled promise of autumn and the lusting energies of spring. And it’s not just some cliché sweetness about leaves and blossoms either. This is the core stuff of being. Seasons, wind, and weather—the fierce and beautiful power of Nature can keep us humble and exhilarated throughout our lives. It is the very “life and death” intensity of these metamorphic cycles that excites the turning of our years with risk and wonder. Time takes away our days, storms wash away our safety, seasons etch our flesh with danger. Old Spirits out on the plains once told me, “Earth shall never be tame… Celebrate your fear and feel you are alive!” Yes! So, read my poems and join me in celebration of these blessings of flesh and blood and spirit that are, “… the most primal of elements—weather and winds and waters and all—the context of our sublime journeys through mundane moments.”
