Produktbeschreibung
"Some will say we are monkeying around with the grieving process when we swing between water and stone. Some will say love is only courageous when we can let go." Swinging Between Water and Stone is divided into four sections that, respectively, loosely represent Birth, Life, Death and Rebirth. Reincarnation, seen as lacking empirical evidence, is often taken on faith. And yet something as commonplace as the cycles of the seasons can provide clues to the mysteries that may lie beyond our mortality, offering a way to make sense of the end of one cycle and the beginning of the next. These poems are meant to celebrate the wheels within wheels that are constantly in motion throughout the natural world and in our imagined landscapes. Steven Mayoff is a novelist, poet and lyricist. Born in Montreal, he has made rural Prince Edward Island his home since 2001.
