While each element of the book has its own narrative stance, the poems, the drawings, and the natural history notes come together in a way that has an appealing and satisfying unity for ear, eye, and mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJane is not a poet who puts all her aesthetic eggs in one basket. She moves easily between modes of expression. She is a connoisseur of land and life, an emissary for the intertwining stories of natural history and human culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders attracted by the poems and drawings pick up a good deal of natural and cultural history as well. Readers attracted to the natural and cultural history have their knowledge graced with the sounds of wind and water, and with the images of plants and animals that live “in the shelter of the covered bridge.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith her poetic, artistic, and research skills steering the ship, Jane is now sailing out once again into the geographic by-ways and cultural history of the province. She has a similar book project under way on the environments and cultural settings of one-room schoolhouses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have no doubt she will offer up another voyage for ear, eye, and mind, and that we will again be culturally enriched by her inspiration and good efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chapel Street Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50092493242608,"sku":"9781988299105","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781988299105","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
