It is a collection packed with poignant, emotional images that haunt, staying with you long after you've read the poems. Evocative and nostalgic are words that spring to mind over and over again when reading Mary's exquisitely crafted collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe common thread linking each of its four parts is sadness for what was once replete with life and promise, but which has now passed. There is a ghost-like quality about this writing, as if each word and phrase is a thread in the writer's rich tapestry of years and memories, the past an ever-present but remote reality, all of it imbued with elemental magic and the mystery of the natural world. Ultimately, I loved the whole collection because, despite its often painful and nostalgic themes, it was beautifully written by a poet who has clearly taken a great deal of time and thought to fine-tune each memory, real or imagined, allowing us to springboard our own regrets and disappointments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWell worth a read - a collection not to be ignored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epoetry collections to read; best modern poetry collections; modern poetry collections; best poetry collections; great poetry collections; good poetry collections; love poetry collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 82\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 18, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53246731354419,"sku":"9781912576258","price":17.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/auDM5Ftb0x9781912576258.webp?v=1776291922","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/leaving-traces-poetry-collections-to-read-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
