Cynthia Winter's debut poetry collection gathers forty poems: two elderly sisters pausing to hold a long look with a pair of deer on an afternoon walk; a loon surfacing feet from a canoe in a quiet cove on Blue Mountain Lake; an old man who replants the eroding grass on his hillside lawn every May, year after year, even as the earth thins.
The five sections are Portraits, Impressions, Seasons, Snapshots, and Spirit. They move from close observation inward. Winter’s attention returns, throughout, to the same threshold: the place where one thing gives way to another, and what endures. Readers of Mary Oliver will recognize the sensibility.
Original illustrations in ink and watercolor and photographs by the author appear throughout. A second collection is underway.
Want a signed copy? Once you add the book to your cart, you'll have the option to request a signed copy with a personal note written inside by Cynthia.
