Review by Bryn
While this collection of poems isn’t being
marketed as druidic, there are some overtly pagan references along the way (and
a few Christian ones as well.) More
importantly, it expresses a relationship with the world I think many druid
readers would empathize with and be inspired by. Vos is a keen observer of nature
and evidently sees the presence of spirit manifest in everything around her.
Her vivid imagery brings alive numinous moments. She observes the seasons and
wildlife around her in a way that invites emotional engagement.
When Vos turns
her hand to relationship, the same rich voice and painfully clear understanding
works its magic, while her contemplations of spiritual life are engaging and
thoughtful.
This is a subtle, lyrical and very beautiful collection of poems. Not a huge tome, but well worth considering.
