Böcker av Deirdre Cornell

In Walk on Air, Deirdre Cornell gracefully uses the haiku as a form of meditation as she ruminates on middle age, marriage, and her lifelong love-the Hudson River. Her haiku artfully echo her footsteps as they mirror the beauty of nature and sound. -Caledonia Kearns, author of A Daughter's Work is Heartless by NatureDeirdre Cornell astonishes in these haiku that reveal the beauty and paradoxes of the magnificent Hudson River Valley. She recalls the great poet Basho whose haiku for five centuries have been opening eyes and souls to the realities of peace, joy, suffering, harmony, love, and goodness that lie behind appearances. Deirdre's first book was a memoir of growing up in a town on the same river. Older now, but still seeing the world with fresh eyes, she gives us priceless views on every page. -Michael Leach, author of Soul SeeingDeirdre Cornell's small poems take us with them to a quiet attentive place where we can sense connections, marvel, and feel a sense of calm acceptance. -Hannah Mahoney, PoetThe Haiku poems are evocative and uplifting. I could feel myself out on the Walkway, experiencing its ever changing beauty. -Elizabeth Waldstein, Executive Director, Walkway Over the Hudson organization"Rain + sun = rainbow" / Few words, ponder much / For few words = thank you / / Grateful for small bites / Bathe in river's light- / Walk in Deirdre's air. -Trina Paulus, author of Hope for the Flowers
