Seasons Of The Heart

The 150 pieces in this exquisite collection take the reader through the
unfolding beauty of the passing seasons, their fleeting delights
presented in a pleasing pocket-size format.

How much pure energy can be packed into a book that fits into a hand, a
book so small it will slip easily into a back pocket? Seasons of theHeart, Alan Spence's first poetry collection since Glasgow Zen,
testifies in 150 haiku to the sheer potential of the small. It is a
reminder of the power of simplicity ... Seasons of the Heart becomes a
meditative and sustained delivery of both energy and purity. Spence is
a calm and necessary visionary ... This is Spence in essence, all
openness of instinct and imagination.
