In Mostly Summer, Louise Weld invites us into a world where the changing seasons reflect the ebb and flow of life. Divided into four sections-Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer-this collection captures the essence of Lowcountry landscapes and the moments that define our human experience. Take, for instance, the poem The Visit of the Red-Tailed Hawk, where the October yard becomes a canvas for reflection. Weld paints a vivid picture of hydrangeas drooping and squirrels gathering for their last hoorah, immersing us in a moment of quiet contemplation as nature shifts from vibrant life to the muted tones of fall. As we journey through the book, Weld's language feels both intimate and universal, celebrating everything from the grace of a Carolina wren to the bittersweet nostalgia of an old woman waking in summer. Each poem serves as a gentle reminder of the beauty in ordinary moments-the lunar eclipse, the rustle of the marsh, the simple presence of a neighborhood rooster. Mostly Summer is more than just a collection of poems; it's an invitation to slow down, and observe.
