The poems in this collection range over a period of 60 years. The style is spare, direct, cutting to the core of subject. Richness of intelligence and a concern for the human has also characterized every phase of Lewis’ development.
“[Lewis’s] taste, unerring both with words and with acquaintances, is timeless, and her themes so wisely chosen at the start that we find no awkward or abrupt transitions. Decades do not distinguish themselves. The channels of her thought are seamless, deep, and pure.” * Christian Science Monitor Book Review *
“Like short, sharp gusts of forest air, the lyrics of Janet Lewis are brief, crisp, and refreshing reminders of nature's powers.”
