Exploring themes of love and loss, this collection features delicate poems reflecting on a sturdy pear tree as a symbol of enduring nature amid fading romance. The work, informed by the author's artistic background, intertwines elements of nature study and ekphrasis, creating a poignant eulogy for a past relationship. Accompanied by abstract illustrations from David Bolduc, the poems showcase a unique blend of literary and visual art. This reissue includes new archival material, inviting readers to rediscover this celebrated collaboration, previously nominated for a Governor General's Literary Award.
