Description:
This second volume of poems by award-winning Sally Ito follows her successful debut Frogs in the Rain Barrel, which was runner-up for the Milton Acorn's People's Poetry Award. Season of Mercy explores the different "seasons" and issues surrounding faith and responsibility; from the darkness of despair to the awakening and understanding of one's own calling and vocation. Skilfully drawing on myth, biblical themes, the natural world, and her own experiences as a mother and writer, Ito weaves a philosophic and poetic landscape, commenting on the necessity of viewing the world around us with mercy and compassion.
