Description
Uncertain Seasons reflects on the passage of time through distinct periods of the year as well as stages of life. From "December's Encompassing Silence" to signs of "Rebirth" - from "Late Summer, Open Field" to the falling leaves of "Northern Ash," these poems offer original perspectives on the world just outside the door. Authentic emotion and a passion for detail color these observations. A readers' guide is included, making this collection of interest to book groups.
