Produktbeschreibung
In her lifetime, Kathrin Rudland has always analyzed any new or unfamiliar place in an effort to know who or what lives there in the present or lived there in the past. She looks not only at the ordinary people and their everyday lives but also at the natural world that surrounds these people. She is curious about the long, continuous journey of generation by generation and how areas have changed. From her quiet home in Illinois and through far-reaching travels across the Arctic, the Far East, Africa, and Europe, the past speaks to the author in countless ways. Her poems reflect not merely a love of history but an intuitive, almost unconscious understanding of the deep resonance of how life once was. Her poems challenge readers to reflect on how we carry moments that still echo in ourselves. The past is not an isolated moment in time, but a lasting legacy of resilience and wisdom that helps us to shape our daily aspirations and identities. The past is within us, and this collection focuses on reverence for the natural world and the passing of time.
Autorenporträt
Born in 1943, Kathrin Rudland's long journey through life has been enriched through the poetry of many authors who gave her a yardstick for language as well as an understanding of the richness and diversity of life. She valued meaningful ideas written in concise language in poetry as well as in prose. An avid reader of history, she wrote two historical novels, Tragedy and Triumph, Elmira, New York, 1835-65 (the Yankee prisoner of war camp at the end of the Civil War) and Passing Strange, The Overland Trail, 1852 (an older woman's journey on the Overland Trail). Her poetry and writing have been published in newspapers, literary journals and magazines for over forty years. She currently resides in Elgin, Illinois near her children and grandchildren.
