There are so many beautiful poems here that touch on family and nature and home. I’m not familiar with the traditions the author draws on but he easily draws the reader into this world. Some of my favourites were "On Their Wedding Anniversary” (looking at how mother and son cope with the father’s pain), “For the Poet’s Lover” (an exploration of rain and memory), and “Pathway” (the story of two streams and the meeting of family). I was able to find a copy of this collection in my library but I definitely want to purchase my own copy so I can revisit these poems often!
