Poetry Through a Rearview Mirror: Reflections on Love, Loss and Legacy - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Poetry Through a Rearview Mirror is a lyrical journey through the landscapes of memory, love, loss, and the quiet grace of ordinary moments. From dew-damp April mornings and sandcastles washed away by tides, to hospice rooms lit by decades of devotion and the ghosts of Montreal's changing streets, Gordon J. Mitchell's poems invite readers to look backward-not with regret, but with wonder. Organized into six thematic sections, this collection moves from the innocence of childhood to the complexities of aging, from tender love poems to meditations on grief, war, and spiritual reckoning. Whether recalling a grandson's awe at a rainbow, a widow's pressed sunflower, or the iron bollards whispering along the Lachine Canal, Mitchell's voice is intimate, reflective, and deeply human. These are not grand epics-but songs between moments. Poems that linger like the scent of poppy seed cookies, the echo of a concertina on cobblestones, or the last light through a bedroom window. For readers who find poetry in life's fleeting harmonies, this collection offers both solace and celebration. "Listen gently."
