A Beautiful Stone

These poets experiment with various forms of collaborative poetry including tanka suites, three line repetitions and tapestry poems. Lynda and Rod exchanged stanzas as they built the poems. They build on various themes, often revolving around place - in particular, the lakes and forests of northern Saskatchewan play a significant role. They are also poems that examine universal themes of family, of love and loss and the passage of time. These are songs of sorrow, joy, celebration and reverence, like the rhythm of waves lapping against the shore.
