About This Book

A lyrical collection of poems that follows the cycle of the year, moving through spring bloom, summer fields, autumn decay, and winter stillness. Natural scenes—flowers, woods, rivers, swans, rain and moonlight—anchor reflections on love, memory, work, childhood and quiet domestic life. Voices range from playful and tender to wistful and devotional, celebrating renewal, mourning loss, and finding consolation in seasonal promise. Rural labor, hop-picking, and children's games appear alongside intimate addresses and meditations on time, resurrection and the endurance of affection.
