Produktbeschreibung
mnemonic is a book of precisely worded and carefully phrased poems that carry the reader on a journey through the soundscapes of the author's home terrain-rural New Brunswick. Jane Tims, botanist, land use planner, and environmental conservationist, employs her keen observation and well-honed writing skills to portray the sounds that populate meadow and forest, emerge along lakes and rivers, and typically occur in domestic terrains. Birdsong commands primary attention and flows like a canopy across each section of this book. Jane shares her drawings of birds, which add the image of form to the aura of music. An orchestra of other surrounding sounds prompt the author's poetic rendering, revealing a world chock-full of interesting information for those alert to its resonance. mnemonic offers a doorway in which to first stand, and then engage a journey from poem to poem into the author's immersive experience of the great world's soundscapes and birdsong.
