Odes: Calendar Classics
"There are so many facets of connection, made real and renewed every time we are in nature. The throwback to animism, where we acknowledge a higher power that has given soul to nature, and spirit to trees, endears us to them like friends."
Emily Isaacson's series of poetry for each month of the year celebrates a child born in each month.
A gift to her family, and their myriad grandchildren, she includes botanical poems for each month with her selections from the Celtic Tree Calendar that have gained new insight and significance.
The symbolic trees and botanicals, heralded in the form of odes, are selected by Isaacson for each month of the year. The poems bring to mind special qualities for each plant and child in a day and age when the spiritual nature of trees and their connection to us is largely forgotten.
Isaacson references herbology, botany, remedies from botanicals, and the essence of cottagecore in this delightful book for children and adults alike.
Love in the Time of Plague Commemorative 2nd Edition
There is light in this vase of yellow-born,
like the sun streaming across the miles, bold
and high cliffs, isolated nature, old
red sandstone, rugged cliffs battered by storms,
wild grass hosting a long Skokholm haven:
seabirds, in heath and salt marsh, St. John’s wort
rises serene; three-lobed water crowfoot—
with whisper of dew on ancient heaven.
"A Townswoman's Cloak", LITTOP
In a time of shadow and silence, when the world withdrew behind masks and distance, a singular voice rose—lyrical, true, and unafraid. Love in the Time of Plague is a poetic chronicle of human beauty amid the hush of a global pandemic. With remarkable depth and clarity, Emily Isaacson threads together simple elements of the sacred, memory, nature, and faith into a luminous tapestry of resilience. This second edition offers expounded reflection and fresh clarity, attuned to the quiet revelations in stillness and grief with its accompanying commentary volume.
From whispered sonnets to soaring requiems, Isaacson’s work echoes with prophetic undertones and pastoral grace. Her poems are lit candles in a darkened gallery, leading readers through the landscapes of solitude, lost connection, and the fragile bloom of hope. This collection is not just a document of a historical moment—it is a testament to the enduring light of love, and the soul’s capacity to sing during suffering.
Legacy in Art
People seek out their legacy in monuments: as part of the fabric of society, and the making of community. Here is where spirit becomes flesh; the spiritual nature of man leaves an imprint in the material world. The result is a deeper understanding of why we were created in the first place, our purpose, our mission, and what we must accomplish to fulfill our role in the grand choreographed dance of time.

Wild Lilies
Emily Carr used to write about the fields of wild lilies in early British Columbia. If you are wondering what a wild lily is, well it refers in this case to any earth-bound lily in contrast to the gilded lily or fleur-de-lis. Your soul is like a prism issuing a rainbow of colour. When you write, draw from contrast to lend depth to your work.
