Winter Into Summer
Naomi Jackson Groves
THIS IS THE REMARKABLE AND PERSONAL STORY of the American Friends Service Committee (Quakers) post-war involvement with the relief effort in Finnish Lapland from 1945 to 1947. From her diary of that time, Naomi Jackson Groves recounts with enthusiasm, openness and humility how the spirit of volunteerism helped to overcome the suffering and horror of war. The work is climaxed by a stunning collection of photographs, illustrations, and oil sketches by the author.
Marigolds in Snow
Jocelyne Villeneuve
Artwork by Peter Schwarz
IN THIS COLLECTION OF HAIKU, Jocelyne Villeneuve blends the brevity and precision of the genre's form with the faith and essence of her own life. It is a poetry of insight, where strength, wisdom, and joy help us not only to observe but also to share in her personal story. There are battles here—of snow against the window pane, of her father in a hospital bed, of absent lovers. And there are small victories—of smiles like ornaments, of kisses like hidden flowers.
Jocelyne Villeneuve's haiku are already familiar to audiences in Japan, the United States, and Canada. Marigolds in Snow is her first book-length publication of haiku in English.
