As an environmental activist and avid gardener Chambers has finely tuned her sensitivities to the magic and drama of nature. Her poetry uses this energy to describe the relationships that people have to the environment, to themselves and to each other. She Draws the Rain contains poems of both dream and vision in its exploration of the human condition. It also offers poems that are built on the science of knowing nature, knowing its rhythms, its seasons, its storms and the healing power it possesses. Chambers? poems name the unnameable and scatter fragments of truth that we all know but rarely think about. Weighing intuition against fact she offers new ways of seeing what is there by putting aside old, cold Reason/ again,/peering through the arrow slits/to the wide and teeming/world beyond.
