Mood Swing, with Pear is a refreshing take on life, love and everything in between. Ranging from a tribute to iconic paintings by the late Canadian painter, Alex Colville, to poems constructed from how-to books and encyclopedias to a eulogy for an upstairs neighbour who is both an inspiration and an annoyance?Sue MacLeod illuminates, instructs and reminds us that sometimes the greatest insight is often found in the smallest corner of getting through the day. Playful but never glib, MacLeod succeeds in getting us to look closer at the everyday items in our lives we often take for granted.
