NATURE RESERVE ON THE CITY'S EDGE
" In this book James E Garratt has written a love story, a tone poem... It's astonishing to think that something this relatively untouched still exists in the Anthropocene Age. But it's not in a fairy tale book, it's in Vaughan [Ontario, Canada]. Garratt writes knowledgeably and with as much sensitivity about black walnuts trees as stoneflies... takes us inside the delicious natural world and eloquently makes the case for its protection... it is a gem..." reviewed by Susan Grimbly in October, 2018 issue (#638) of TORONTO FIELD NATURALIST.
Pages flutter
Doors open, outward...
Lemon-frosted moonlight
Green apples
Cold water
Gritty dirt
A bee's sting
A European Fire Ant
An Owl's lost call in the night
Trees creaking in winter wind
Freezing.Thawing. Cycles
Circling 'round
A coyote's starlit eyes
A bulldozer belches
Living things rustle in flight
Summer meadows spread once again, calm, for another night
A farm-gate swings open...
