Start in the spring, the quintessential garden season. Travel through summer, fall, winter, noticing changes in the trees, flowers, wildlife behavior, and visitors. Readers find themselves in these moments: sitting on a bench, leaning on a bridge railing, walking on gravel paths as views soften and expand. Look up to see a spider on the knotty pine gazebo ceiling, look out to the tea house beyond, breathe deep the floral scents, and listen. These Japanese-style poems lead readers in simple observation of extraordinary beauty all around the pond at the heart of this garden.
