Come on a backroads journey through a north country of hidden glacial ponds and deep pine forests to "the center of town past the one-family store with the awnings pulled down." Continue to the wide tidal flats of the Atlantic where New England began. Snowshoe the wilderness. Crowd into a church bazaar. Watch a great blue heron "hang like a Casablanca fan over the bay." These lyrical poems lead to your own higher latitudes.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Craftsmanship and close observation is apparent throughout this collection. The subjects may be commonplace, but the results are anything but. "Higher Latitudes" is a fine collection of poems by an accomplished poet. -- Paul Lizotte, The Sunday Telegraph, July 2, 1995
Julia Older is a poet of sense and sensibility. Her common sense has respect for daily occurrences and is acute enough to seize their material; her sensibility is magnetized by language. Elizabeth Bishop at her most insouciant. A happy collection- -- Constance Hunting,Puckerbrush Review Spring, 1997
Not simple "nature" poems but full of people. Rooted in earth, Oldler's poems reach for the spiritual. -- Sandell Morse, Concord Sunday Monitor, Dec. 24, 1995
Older is a lyric poet, a singer of songs. Her landscape is familiar-fields and mountains, marsh and sea. These are not simple "nature" poems but full of people. Rooted in earth, Older's poems reach for the spiritual.Higher Latitudes invites us, her readers, to do the same. -- Sandell Morse, Concord Sunday Monitor, Dec 24, 1995
What is most remarkable about Older's poetry is the rich, dazzling imagery-whatever the subject. "Root Woman" is already a well-known favorite. -- Vesta Hornbeck Entertainment Times 1996
