All the earth is holy ground.\" This, her third collection of poems, was inspired by it. Perhaps for a poet who grew up memorizing nature psalms of the Old Testament and singing \"This is My Father's World,\" it was inevitable that her poetry eventually would take a turn toward ecological concerns, merging her spirituality with her love for all earthly beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiana Woodcock is the author of six chapbooks and two poetry collections, Under the Spell of a Persian Nightingale (Word Poetry Books, 2015) and Swaying on the Elephant's Shoulders (winner of the 2010 Vernice Quebodeaux International Women's Poetry Prize\/Little Red Tree Publishing). She is an Associate Professor of English in Qatar at Virginia Commonwealth University's branch campus, where she teaches composition, creative writing, and environmental literature.
