About this book
Snowbound forests, brief summers and the longing for distant homes give these short poems their setting and mood. Howard V. Sutherland writes of the northern lights, sleeping mosses, frozen creeks and spruce trees waiting for birds to return. Joaquin Miller's foreword places the verses in the Klondyke, where winter's isolation gives way to a short season of open water, flowers and renewed companionship.
The collection moves between descriptions of the landscape and personal reflections on love, grief, faith and loneliness. A tribute to Father Judge honours practical kindness, while another poem follows men seeking gold along the trail. Trees dream, the wind makes music and returning sunlight offers comfort to discouraged people.
