Description
In The Warm Land, Jacqueline Pearce returns to her childhood home in the Cowichan Valley, marked by the haunting sounds of migrating geese, the warm sweetness of a ripe blackberry, and the close darkness of a moonless night. With the precise form of haiku, Pearce distills moments of childhood, adolescence and the dawn of adulthood, carrying the reader through an arc that is both personal and universal-- from discovery and awe, to loss and nostalgia, and, finally, to homecoming.
