This book is a collection of poems by Montreal authors Anastasia Chauny and Graham Isaak on themes of nature, spirituality, and the struggles of everyday life. It contains 52 poems arranged by month, to be read over a year if the reader so chooses. Soul-searching poems such as For Weak Saints, or Strong as Death, are mixed in with comical poems such as The Slime Monster and Buyers Remorse, and science-themed musings such as Proprioception and Multiverse. Musical poetry such as Swell and Fade or Fiddle Dum And Fiddle Dee meets meta poetry such as Four Lines and The Art of Trying. Poems take a variety of forms, including sonnet, free-verse, haiku, and rhyming verse. Readers will encounter frosty winter poems in January and reflective Easter poems in spring, as they are taken full circle through the seasons.
