literature and fiction,poetry,single authors, Iowa Lyric : Poems of the Changing Seasons, A celebration of Iowa's landscape in its ever-changing seasons, this book of illustrated, short, lyric poems by Iowa author Judith Sutcliffe engages the senses, evoking the loveliness of the rural scene, the charm of small-town streets. Each of the 169 poems is illustrated by the author in simple, deft line drawings that capture , as the poems do, the essence of Iowa's rolling hills, roadside plum brush, prairie grasses, corn and soybean fields, and winding tree-lined creeks. The combination makes for fascinating reading and a visual delight. A perfect gift book. The poems touch all the senses: the purring sound of lawnmowers, scent of lilacs, frost pictures on windows, symphonies of rain and thunder, the coolness of snowflakes on one's skin. The language of Sutcliffe's poetry is sensual and direct, with an Anglo-Saxon feel for internal rhyme and alliteration. The images are vividly painted, brushed with a minimum of words, reminding one of Japanese haiku, but expressed in common speech more akin to Robert Frost. The book begins with lush images of summer fireflies and prairie grasses and moves on gradually through the nuanced changes of a Midwest autumn and winter, ending with the blossoming of spring. Those who have lived in Iowa will smile with warm recognition of the "little things" that are so often taken for granted, but in these poems they are pointed out for poetic celebrations--leaves on the sidewalk, night-fluttering starlings, dandelions gone to seed, magno.
