Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Raven breaks colour, tricking the light, his feather a prism releasing violet and night."Dayna Davis brings us a collection of rich imagery. Her musicality of language is compelling. Themes of innocence, wonder, forgiveness, grief and loss run through landscapes of childhood, family and the emergence of the writing life. These poems awaken the senses, bring the reader close, illuminate."before you knew...that a heart's purse, fully opened, could invite anything but gold"These poems celebrate the natural world, leading us from field and forests of rural Alberta to shorelines of coastal B.C. The book feels like a memoir told with lyric introspection. The poems ask questions. What can we hold onto in a world of impermanence? What keeps us anchored as we travel from childhood to old age? In the end, what truly matters?
