Synopsis

This is a collection of lyrical poems that explore the lives and experiences of rural folk in a humanist and naturalist way. Within a body of work that presents a critique of the Catholic Church, this text shows a comparatively gentler side. An exploration within the lives of shepherds, laborers, and the poor, the poems capture the cyclical nature of life and suffering through the lens of the natural world. The author draws on their own philosophical and religious beliefs to express their thoughts on the nature of being within the observable world and the role of simple lives in understanding humanity.
