A Sweet New Season
Reflections
by Dianne Rossol


Dianne Rossol’s latest book of poetry and prose delves into the beauty of transitions. From literal changes in seasons to evolutions within ourselves, A Sweet New Season: Reflections explores the wisdom that comes with life experience. As we age, we have the opportunity to look at life through different lenses. While humanity naturally approaches youth with single-minded self-involvement, as we grow older, we start to recognize the many people, things, and experiences that enrich life. We learn to cultivate gratitude for both the objects and connections that surround us, but also the concepts we understand on a more visceral level, like faith and spirituality. A Sweet New Season explores—with unerring relatability—relationships and their importance, both in cultivating them and letting them go. Rossol’s poems and short stories go to the heart of what it means to live authentically. She celebrates love and family, frailty and grief, that intangible sense of belonging, and the wisdom of knowing that not all questions will or can be answered. In truth, Rossol celebrates all aspects of life, without the need for those rose-coloured glasses.


Dianne Rossol has been writing poetry since she was a little girl. Throughout her life, poetry has been a way for her to express her joy, pain, and all of the emotions in between. Her love for poetry continued through to adulthood when she took a creative writing course to learn more about the artform. A Sweet New Season: Reflections is Dianne’s newest book of poetry. She also wrote Rhymes for a Reason: The Power of People, Positivity, and Playfulness, published in 2021. Dianne hopes this book will resonate with people who value not only the big life lessons, but also some of the subtler ones. Perhaps her poetry will even provide a different perspective on the otherwise common themes of grief, love, and positivity. Dianne was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She and her husband of forty-five years retired in 2011 and moved to Medicine Hat, Alberta. Aside from her deep love for poetry, she enjoys travel tours by motor coach, and taking photos of sunsets and wildlife.
