Joyflight
Joyflight is a collection of poems cleverly designed to ?shock a tiny gentleness from us? (Five Encounters With Birds). Cate Kennedy expresses endless sensitivity to the environment, to animals of all sizes, and to the past. Her poems portray a delicate feminine outlook counter-balanced by an earthy rural sensibility. The collection is divided into two parts: Part 1, That Pure Torn-Open Moment, describes detailed observations of important personal moments; while Part 2, Burning The World?s Almanac, focuses more on the Irish heritage observed by the author in a 2002 overseas visit.
