Produktbeschreibung
"In this very old, magical place / I knew I was not alone." A vibrant, moving sophomore collection, All the Small Things offers a gentle reminder to readers young and old: You are not alone. Through poetic lyricism and whimsical watercolour illustrations, Libby McKechnie showcases the melodious union of her artistic gifts. In these pages, joy and grief overlap, and beauty arrives unexpectedly. Herons and owls coast and alight. Poppies brighten the hillsides of the mind. A girl and her dog quietly observe the morning sky. A child holds new life, a freshly hatched parakeet, in her hands. From Ballynahinch Castle to the Musée de l'Orangerie to the desert mountains of Santa Fe, these poems ask us to be still, to pay attention to nature and each other, to live in attunement to the world in all its changes. Deeply grounded in wonder and gratitude, All the Small Things is a celebration of artistry, the unaffected beauty of nature, and love's fiercest attachments.
Autorenporträt
Libby McKechnie is a Canadian painter, teacher, and poet. Her debut collection, Come Away With Me, was published by FriesenPress in 2021. She has worked as a visual arts teacher in both public and private high schools in Ottawa, Ontario, for more than thirty years, and she also taught in a Montessori school for ten years. A visual artist all her life, poetry came as a form of expression to her later in life, when she began hosting a monthly writing group. For Libby, poetry is the language of the heart, and painting is a visual interpretation of what she sees and feels. She is delighted to be able to share with the world her love of both art and poetry. Libby lives in Ottawa with her husband. They have two sons and a granddaughter.
