Scenes From a Summer House : 9781434377142 : 15 Jun 2008 : The group of poems were written in Nova Scotia, Canada and contain the inspiration of a land and sea that have affected me deeply. Although not the place in which my husband and I reside most of the year, it has become very dear. .An old house, a pebbled beach and a new environment have given us, in unexpected ways, gifts allowing us both to come to terms with a life lived, while also bestowing upon us a gift of new beginnings. This group of poems, then, is dedicated to our new home and the landscape and seascape that we now share where there are no boundaries between time and space, beginnings and endings, where all things appear to exist simultaneously: on the horizon, within the sea and upon the land, and where, most important of all, life seems good.
