About this book
A soldier train, a kitchen hearth and a quiet riverbank share space in this collection of poems by Clara Frances McKee Beede. Clear Crystals moves between the worries of families in wartime and the comfort found in familiar surroundings. Mothers pray for their sons, troops wave farewell from trains, and the Red Cross receives praise for its care of people facing illness, floods and war. Calls for peace run alongside pictures of gardens, harvests and children returning from school.
The poems use rhyme, repeated sounds and closely observed seasonal details to connect daily life with faith and duty. A canna conserving moisture becomes an example of nature's wisdom, while trees enduring a gale suggest human courage. Readers interested in devotional verse and the feelings of the home front will find an emphasis on kindness, useful work and hopes for reunion.
