New poetry by award-winning writer combines blue collar tradeswork with unapologetic feminism and untameable nature of BC.Usually, we take for granted or plain ignore the Earth we walk on, the Sky above, the Water we drink and bathe in or that falls as rain, the Fire we assume for heat, and the Wood that makes up our landscape and building materials. But over fifteen years as a construction carpenter, Kate Braid began to pay more attention to the materials she worked with and depended upon. Out of these she has crafted an intimate picture of what it is like to be wholly engaged with the elemental materials of earth, sky, water, fire and wood that we depend upon every day. ELEMENTAL is a poignant, intelligent collection that asks us to look more closely at ourselves and the details that construct our rich and delicate world.
