Synopsis

Find comfort and insight in a poetic journey through imagination, memory, and the solace of art.

In this poetry collection, the author invites readers to explore how imagination can soothe worry, illuminate loss, and gently guide us through life’s transitions. Spanning reflections on nature, family, aging, and the power of music, the verses weave a steady thread of hope and resilience. The book treats big themes with clarity and a calm, inviting voice, making complex ideas feel personal and accessible.

Product Description

Excerpt from The Consolation: A Poem

The birth of Imagination took place with the expulsion of our first parents from Eden, who, on being driven forth to cultivate the world, were told that they should also people it. - Cain, therefore, was given from the Lord as a consolation, to turn their thoughts in a new direction.
