Winterpast: A Collection of Poems

In Winterpast, poet Claire Geneviéve La Fleur writes about a wide range of subjects ranging from art to nature, from ephemeral to spiritual. She returns continually to the subject of nature's changing face. She sees the world both as light and dark, just as death can be a personification neither male nor female.

In this collection of 43 poems, Claire Geneviéve La Fleur experiments with a variety of poetic styles to fit her subject, both rhyming and narrative-based.

Her poetry conjures, enchants and mystifies. She tackles the loneliness of adolescence but examines it in a fresh light. She begs the reader to slow down and ponder a concept as whimsical as a tissue in flight, to feel the magic of the first translucent snowflake, to marvel at the lovely lady dressed in red.
