I found myself nodding in agreement with every line. The words the poet applies to art are at best shadows and glimpses, and so often inaccurate and potentially dangerous. Yet, we cling to them. Your concluding verses, though, are the ones I would like to see on Valentines cards.
This is so kind of you, Anne. I was thinking the same about your writing, how a higher form of love, one that tenderness evokes, may be the answer. Especially in The Ice Widow, this comes across loud and clear.
Ah Maria, dare I say that I 'loved' reading this! Art versus philosophy versus psychology and an ocean worth of words and emotions and imagery in between. So much truth here and as I always do, I thoroughly enjoyed your take on this. A tip of the hat for your beautiful words too! And so, Happy Valentine's Day!
Your heartwarming comment is a Valentine's gift, dear Nic... Thank you so much for your generous encouragement. When the words come from a writer and a friend, they are invaluable... Happy Valentine's! 🌹

Why, thank you. I felt The Ice Widow was technically a metaphysical romance. Most people said they wanted more bannock recipes and ceremonies.
Most people can be rather literal!
