Description
'A Fragile Grace is an impressive collection of poems that leaves no stone unturned. As an exploration of the natural landscape, it travels from the still winds above mountaintops to the roots beneath our feet, lingers where seasonal shifts create beautiful alchemy. Juxtaposing strength and vulnerability, it reflects on relationships past and present, on youth, aging, gracefully mapping the crescendos and diminuendos of both the human and natural world.' ~ Leesa Dean, writing instructor, Selkirk College, author of Waiting for the Cyclone
