Four Fields - Paperback

A finalist for the North American Book Award in Poetry, the Eric Hoffer Poetry Prize, and the Eric Hoffer Grand Prize, Dorinda Wegener's Four Fields weaves family traditions and natural landscapes into a stunning tapestry of loss, trauma, growth, and maturity. Metaphor envelops Wegener's rich language, with words becoming "green as forgiveness" and "trepid as love" as she explores complex familial bonds, religious tenets, and human identity. Wegener's work conveys emotional depth through vivid imagery, transforming birds, insects, and flowers into symbols that represent the truths of life. Four Fields invites readers into its winding pages, immersing them in the croft and leaving a lasting impact with each cedar waxwing's cry.
