Artists and writers are often associated with the landscape, natural history, and human stories of their home place.
Melanie Craig-Hansford spent her childhood summers and holidays in the Belleisle Bay area on the Kingston Peninsula in southern New Brunswick; it is the place that called her back after a long absence.
Tonight We Sleep with the Window Open combines the poetry and drawings she created after returning to Belleisle Bay; it is a record of a personal journey and the exploration of a remembered and loved region of New Brunswick.
The pen and ink drawings are often haunting in their graphic reflection of the personal journey and in their depiction of the life, landscape, and built environment of the local terrain.
The poems create a blended narrative of thoughtful observation. The author reaches deep into the living presence of the natural world, weaves in her memory of ancestors, and celebrates the surrounding cosmos that nourishes her creative life.
