Exploring the countryside with an acute understanding of Mother Nature's magic, Wonderment is a beautiful anthology of seasonal poetry, written and illustrated by Sherry L. Ross. 'The ache of spring is undeniable. It hurts before it sings.' Out in the American fields, skunk cabbages sprout like hooded baby goblins; arrow-like herons emerge with fish in their beaks; and fireflies return to the deep shadows of a summer night. Wonderment is a beautiful anthology of seasonal poetry, written and illustrated by Sherry Ross. Exploring the countryside with an acute understanding of Mother Nature's magic and inspired by centuries of woodland and pastoral folklore, Ross's words and images capture a genuine sense of awe, as light and dark come and go and each season in turn bends the landscape to its will. Having previously authored the charming children's book Return of the Vinetropes, Ross is well placed to convey the innocent wonders of the natural world in this imaginative and visually stunning collection. Perfect for fans of all things wild and wonderful. Praise for Wonderment:
WONDERMENT has all the magical elements of a beautifully imagined book. The poems and illustrations are intwined through each season, unfolding like memories viewed through innocent eyes still capable of noticing the quiet details so often lost in everyday life. The black-and-white illustrations against the warm-toned paper create an enchanting fairytale atmosphere with a sense of mystery that draws you in. - Nanci France-Vaz, fine artist of emotive portraits and figurative art This gorgeous book is brimming with forest enchantments. Sherry L. Ross is equally dazzled and keen-eyed as she takes in the natural world season by season, celebrating faery folk and flowering flora, secret portals and thrashing summer storms, glimmering water sprites and all manner of woodland animal. Wonderment is, above all, about slowing down and taking in the magic--and joy--of every moment. You'll want to savor Ross's lyrical poems and charming drawings; they're pure pleasure. - Carolyn Turgeon, editor-in-chief and co-owner of Enchanted Living Magazine Themes here derive from the four seasons, and while the tone is pastoral, Ross demonstrates restraint and avoids sentimentality. Her voice is mature, assured. In her poem, A Double Ring around the Moon, one of my favorites, the movement from winter toward spring feels romantic, mythic...evocative of the Pre-Raphaelites and of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's Beata Beatrix, where Beatrice is rapt heavenward. Ross's last line in this poem, Loss and ascension seem always paired, as well as Ross's illustrations, so beautifully paired with each poem, is a leit motif of WONDERMENT. - Bill Fine, President of Artnet Worldwide
