Synopsis:

Another Last Summer is Jaque Reed's third collection of poetry. Inspired by her summers spent in the Nicolet National Forest since childhood, continuing to present day. Now in her 90s Reed has spent a lifetime observing and engaging with the world around her. Being immersed in nature continues to influence Reed's writings. Reed constructs her experiences into verses that celebrate the beauty and complexity of nature. Whether it be the lakes and

Forests of Wisconsin or the birds and flowers in her own California backyard.

Family continues to be a central theme in Reed's works. Reflecting love, loss and the bonds that tie generations together. In Another Last Summer, Reed embraces the intimate process of aging offering insights on memories, resilience and the acceptance of life's final chapters. Her spirituality and religious beliefs are woven throughout the book offering a view of her connection to the world and the divine.

In addition to poetry Another Last Summer includes two short stories. The first tells of an imaginary relationship between a deer and a lonely princess. Their bond endures their entire lives, focusing on themes of companionship, survival and unyielding love. The second story is a childhood memory of an adventure to the movies with the Reed's family's domestic help and her cousin. The adventure opens her eyes to life beyond her immediate environs where they encounter a treasure that left a lifelong impression on Reed.

Reed and her family celebrated the 100th year of their summers in Wisconsin in 2019, proving there will always be Another Last Summer.

Reed's other works include Gardens of the Heart, a lifelong compilation of poetry about nature, loved ones and spirituality. Also Pathways -A Journey Through Isolation, written during the Covid Pandemic.
