In the Garden
by
Dana Barrette
Nature—an all-encompassing awareness, sought by the few who understand the truth it brings, and quenched by those who slumber in the midst of it. An awakening of the heart is where knowledge begins. In the Garden draws the reader closer to the eternal perfection of Nature. Each whisper— the wind’s caress Absorb the message release it to the world A silk thread— woven in strength (Silk, page 60) In this thoughtfully composed poetry collection, Barrette shows us there is ease, purpose, and comfort to be found in nature, no matter how chaotic life gets. Whether considering the thaw of spring or the falling autumn leaves, these poems remind us not only of the wonder and beauty of Nature, but of how it always takes its time, trusting its own process. In the Garden reminds us we, too, are a part of this Creation—to find purpose and oneness, we need only remember what our hearts have known all along.
Observant and afflicted with an overwhelming adoration for the wonders of Nature, Dana Barrette finds comfort and truth by writing in homage to Creation. In the Garden is her third poetry collection; she is also the author of Our Words (2020), and As We Are Creation (2022). Barrette lives in Toronto, Canada, with her two kids and spouse.
