About this book
Birdsong, moonlight and changing seasons give Theodore H. Rand's Canadian poetry its recurring images. The collection opens with a dedication to Emeline that recalls shared encounters with sea spray, mountains and summer skies. In the central poems, a rose unfolding or light falling across farms becomes an occasion to consider beauty, love and the relation between the visible world and spiritual life.
Rand often addresses Beauty as a living presence, imagining her shaping shells, coloring flowers and bringing warmth to autumn leaves. Elsewhere, a remembered childhood landscape draws attention to clouds, mountain shadows and fields of rye. Short rhymed stanzas connect these close observations with devotional feeling and reflections on what the senses can reveal. Readers interested in nature poetry will find a voice that repeatedly turns familiar outdoor scenes toward questions of faith and perception.
