The book reflects Elizabeth’s deep connection to both her Victorian English heritage and her life in New England, capturing themes of nature, family, love, and loss.

Written between the 1920s and 1960s, the poems explore the beauty of nature, the joys and trials of life, and the devastating impact of losing her son during World War II. Through careful editing, Kennedy brings Elizabeth’s poignant and lyrical voice to modern readers, preserving her timeless reflections on life’s complexities and the enduring power of poetry.
