Thyme clings, high / and away from the grazing and scents / the air.
She divides her time between Canada and Europe..
About author(s): Eleonore Schönmaier is the award-winning author of Dust Blown Side of the Journey and Wavelengths of Your Song .
The arc of this collection offers a rejuvenating meditation on the meaning of loss and love, highlighted by the lyric beauty of the writing.
Intimate reflections are contrasted with geopolitical and environmental concerns as Schönmaier\'s fierce intelligence focuses on what is most essential in our lives.
By centring her experiential empathy on a history of racism and poverty, she guides us into better ways of being.
Eleonore Schönmaier forges compelling symphonic resonances between European musical encounters and a northern working-class childhood.
A (re)creation of the surreality and altered time within deep states of grieving, Field Guide to the Lost Flower of Crete juxtaposes sorrow with fragmentary unapologetic joy.
Island reality is interconnected with live-retrieved memories in which a nurse follows a violent patient into the northern Canadian bush, a migrant mother faces her new job as the village butcher, an Ojibway man is forced to walk a dangerous route home alone, teenagers loot the local dump to build their mother\'s wheelchair, and an electrician watches a woman play a grand piano on a ballfield.
