Synopsis

A Transcendental Almanac takes you through a one-year span of the seasons, inviting you to linger in each month's four poems. Beginning in April, with nature exultantly proclaiming its freedom from hibernation, and ending, the following March, after the cyclical passing of summer, autumn, and winter, the book evokes an intimacy with the flora and fauna, the life and essence, of the world's elemental existence. The twelve months are described with a passionate, lyrical voice and a gentle sensibility. These forty-eight poems will enchant you, make you feel at one with trees, grass, and flowers, birds, butterflies, rabbits, and squirrels, skies filled with clouds, wind, sunshine, rain, and snow.
