About This Book

The collection presents a series of lyrical sketches in which an elderly woman is carried back through life by the strains of a familiar lullaby. Memories unfold from childhood and maidenhood to courtship, marriage, motherhood, and finally to the pleasures of grandparenting, with recurring domestic images—firelight, knitting, a sleeping babe—and reflections on time, loss, and familial continuity. The poems emphasize intergenerational bonds, the persistence of maternal songs, and the gentle blending of present moments with recollected scenes, often framed by evening quiet and homely ritual.
