Description
The Cloud Path Poems by Melissa Kwasny is a powerful exploration of loss and solace. In this seventh collection of poetry, celebrated author Melissa Kwasny grapples with the passing of her mother amidst global crises, finding guidance in the natural world. As she walks paths lined with aspen, snow geese, and prickly pears, Kwasny turns to nature for peace and instruction. Her poems evoke a range of landscapes - from the vibrant colours of foxes and swans to the harsher elements of dark bogs and empty hayfields. Through her words, she witnesses life's constant ebb and flow, gradually shedding the weight of personal and collective grief. These evocative and wrenching poems compel us to consider the whole of living and dying, juxtaposing personal loss with planetary concerns. With a keen and tender voice, Kwasny teaches us to see anew in the lateness of things.
