Synopsis

Out Of Mist by Florence Kilpatrick Mixter. This poetry collection, originally published in 1971, gathers a sequence of lyric poems and standalone pieces that probe love, memory, mortality, and spiritual longing across intimate and expansive landscapes. The book opens with Out Of Mist: A Sonnet Sequence, tracing a relationship through passion, doubt, and transcendence, and proceeds through a rich array of pieces such as Transfiguration, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, The Summons, December Augury, Invocation, The Dead, and To Edward Livingston Trudeau, among others. The verses move between ardent, dreamlike reveries and somber meditations on death and the afterlife, often framed by natural imagery, sacred spaces, and historical/mythic allusions. The collection culminates in reflections on parting and memory, seeking an enduring, unchanging essence beyond time. A refined, lyrical exploration of love’s ascent and loss, blending romance with mysticism, elegy, and spiritual longing.
