Weather is more than a forecast
Weather is more than a forecast. It is the first thrill of April along a railway path, a village evening drumming on its roofs, a farmer’s hands in wet soil, and the slow gold of an autumn that asks to be understood. Rain feeds what the harvest gathers.
Poet of Rain & Harvest gathers twenty-two poems from that turning year. Some splash like children in puddles, while others stand quietly in the wheat. Each one is a journey: some end in sleep, and some end in a good wish for the season ahead.
Through these pages, let the weather in. Read one on a rainy evening, one at harvest time, and keep the last for the first cool morning of autumn. Enjoy!
