About the Book
Legris explores the rich theme of active observation through seasonal poems that form kind of an almanac or naturalist's book of poetry. On long walks through the prairie habitats near her home in Saskatchewan, moths appear, as do birds and plants and larvae, all meticulously observed and documented with an oblique sense of the pandemic in the background.
