This is a visually beautiful book – rich with golds and silvers – the text sparingly placed, a handful of short lines on a page – with some much space for the words to breathe.
It is no surprise that Jackie Morris evokes a deep connection to the natural world, an enchantment of it. It provides a grounding in the turbulence of life.
One extract as an example…
Things to do:
Take a stone for a walk.
Take leaves of gold up hill,
release into the wild.
Take leaves of gold to stream,
place in water, watch light,
bring home, dry.
Find the silence in which to
catch the shape of words.
Breathe, and in between, peace.
