Autorenporträt
Nicole McGrath loves Trees, with a capital "T," and has been observing and exploring the forests of Canada and the jungles of South and Central America for many years, attending events and spending time with locals, seeing how they eat and live, as well as witnessing their medicinal practices. Travelling to these places gave Nicole her best memories, and prompted her to write poetry, to put into words the songs she heard in Nature. Nicole's poetry is also often inspired by other authors, nature lovers, and scientists who have dedicated themselves to the pursuit of protecting forests and wetlands. Nicole also loves creating art and living simply. She has painted en-plein-air in and around Ontario, including the Great Lakes, the Frontenac Arch regions, and in San Martin, Peru. Before Language There Was Song is Nicole McGrath's first published book. Written with an abundance of calm and honesty, the author ultimately delivers a message of lifelong learning and belonging in the natural world, and a sense of a better future. Nicole currently resides near Perth, Ontario.
