Nature Insight: A View of Solitude
Nature Insight was a regular feature of my blog in the early days. For years, novel writing has monopolized my creative and literary energy, but finally I have a poem to offer. Hope you enjoy it.
My view is colored with birds, come May,
those who return and those who stay,
feathered flowering upon the wing,
lifting cloud curtains as they sing.
Cardinal, redder than in the snow,

added a status update: "The Dove Upon Her Branch, A Novel Portrait of Christina Rossetti" is now available as an Audio Book! The excellent and experienced narrator is Virgina Ferguson. My publisher and I are thrilled with the result and feel so fortunate to have attracted her talent to the audio version. I listened to it in its entirety, so engaged with Virginia's reading I often forgot I was the author.... https://tinyurl.com/msb95ja4

of
The Dove Upon Her Branch: A Novel Portrait of Christina Rossetti:
"The author doesn't disappoint with her latest.
I read with enjoyment because I am sure it was enjoyably written for it flows with a writer’s passion for her subject. It is a breath of bookish history written as if for a stage “in bringing a story and " Read more of this review » |

of
The Dove Upon Her Branch: A Novel Portrait of Christina Rossetti:
"The fine tapestry of words in The Dove Upon Her Branch evokes a life lived more in the shadows than the light, but also reveals Christina Rosetti’s verve and certainty of talent.
Christina struggled with depression and had a penchant for the downbeat" Read more of this review » |

“There are three points of view from which a writer can be considered: he may be considered as a storyteller, as a teacher, and as an enchanter. A major writer combines these three — storyteller, teacher, enchanter — but it is the enchanter in him that predominates and makes him a major writer…The three facets of the great writer — magic, story, lesson — are prone to blend in one impression of unified and unique radiance, since the magic of art may be present in the very bones of the story, in the very marrow of thought…Then with a pleasure which is both sensual and intellectual we shall watch the artist build his castle of cards and watch the castle of cards become a castle of beautiful steel and glass.” ~ Vladimir Nabokov”

“One day in the country was worth a month in town and better than Christmas, her birthday, or even Papa saying she was like the moon risen at the full.”

“How many children could say their home hosted the humblest and highest at the same time, on any given evening invaded by expatriates their father never hesitated to invite in? Through the back door he welcomed a bookseller, organ grinder, biscuit maker, vagrant macaroni man, and one called Galli who thought he was Christ. Through the front, disgraced Italian counts and generals made as officious entrances as a small house on Charlotte Street afforded.”

“In a swamp, as in meditation, you begin to glimpse how elusive, how inherently insubstantial, how fleeting our thoughts are, our identities. There is magic in this moist world, in how the mind lets go, slips into sleepy water, circles and nuzzles the banks of palmetto and wild iris, how it seeps across dreams, smears them into the upright world, rots the wood of treasure chests, welcomes the body home.”

“There was only silence. It was the silence of matter caught in the act and embarrassed. There were no cells moving, and yet there were cells. I could see the shape of the land, how it lay holding silence. Its poise and its stillness were unendurable, like the ring of the silence you hear in your skull when you're little and notice you're living the ring which resumes later in life when you're sick.”

“They don't have to know the real you for you to keep being that amazing you! Don't let someone's negative spirit disrupt or corrupt yours. Be you for...you. God is the one that you want to see who you really are.”
