Bilingual book in English and French

Through simplified character portraits, the poet presents life as an emotional image palette, exemplifying our human traits and idiosyncrasies. Positive social, ethical and environmental values are gently embedded as the author shows us variations of the world through differing perceptual eyes: those building up our inner pictures, and those prodding the outer world of our actions. There is a contemporary relevance in the themes explored, including an emphasis on self-worth and creative potential - as well as our interconnectedness with nature and our social interactions with others.

The strength and linguistic vibrancy of this work is achieved through its emotional incisiveness and by moulding fresh image from the texture of our universally-shared human experiences. A declarative and authorial voice intersperses with distilled moments, softer musings and sentimentality - prompting an awareness of our human emotions and the role they play in our personal development and also as a product of our internal schemes of self-preservation.

Livre bilingue anglais-fran ais

Au moyen de quelques portraits simplifi s, la po tesse nous pr sente la vie comme une palette d' motions repr sentant les traits et particularit s de l'humanit . Valeurs sociales et morales, toutes positives, sont d licatement imbriqu es par l'auteure qui nous montre les facettes vari es du monde travers diverses perceptions - celles qui construisent nos images int rieures et celles qui encouragent nos actions. Notre "moi" peut en effet osciller entre l'union provisoire et la totalit de la vie avec des sentiments d'inach vement ou de m contentement envahissant. En outre, il y a une pertinence contemporaine dans les th mes explor s, y compris l'importance de la confiance en soi et du potentiel cr atif sans oublier nos liens avec la nature et la soci t .

La force et la vitalit linguistique de cette oeuvre r sultent de l' loquence motionnelle et de la manipulation par ailleurs de nouvelles images manant de nos exp riences humaines universellement partag es. Une voix assertive, entrecoup e de purs moments de douces r veries et de sentimentalit , nous donne conscience de nos motions humaines et du r le qu'elles jouent dans notre d veloppement personnel et dans nos machinations dict es par notre instinct de conservation.
