Our book is
finished! Two copies of One Solar Year will be at the Hearth Gallery as a
central part of the One Solar Year show, April 19-May 1, comprised of work by my
partner Markus Roemer, my son, Taliesin van Lidth de Jeude Roemer, and myself. Like the
show as a whole, this book explores the seasonal, cultural, and
biological changes of the year 2022. Local wilderness photos by Taliesin
and myself are the foundation for poems that discuss our human
connection with each other and our ecology.
My favourite thing about
this book is that if you flip through from winter solstice to winter
solstice, you see the colour palette of the year go by. It's reassuring
to me that this sequence of colour is so familiar -- such a strong part
of our collective psyche.
The book is available to purchase at my Blurb
store (link below), but it's quite expensive, due to the ever-rising
costs of everything, so I'll be doing a group purchase for locals in the spring to
at least save us all the cost of shipping. If you'd like a copy, let me
know. I expect I'll put the order in in May or June.
But you don't need to purchase it to have a look! Just click this image/link, and then click your way through the book. Or watch me flip through the hardcopy on my instagram. :-)
