As a poet, she finds within it an  endless field of metaphors. As a naturalist, she notices each small,  miraculous detail: the hummingbirds and their routines, the showy tulips, the crazy  yellow forsythia. Of visiting deer she writes, "I love watching the deer, which  always arrive like magic or a miracle or the answer to an unasked  question." In her popular book  A  Natural History of the Senses , Ackerman celebrates  the human body; in Cultivating Delight: A Natural History of  My Garden, she turns her attention to the world outside the body,  outside the human sphere. Structured by seasons, this is a book of  subtle shifts, but the reader never feels lost.
