The fifth installment in At Bay Press’s acclaimed From the Heart Series.
The Late Season dives into how death re-stories our lives. It surges with the extraordinary tide of bereavement alongside the daily, ordinary rhythms of life, exploring how the natural world echoes our human experience, as we move through the season of death’s initiation. With words and story that honour and vividly reflect how we may retrieve ourselves, and with tender heart, the late season, encourages us to … be as graceful as you can be, and that is good enough; how like the mirror of the sea, it can bring us back to ourselves, wave after wave.
The Late Season leads the reader down to the tidal river of what remains, in the stirrings of death, as it stuns, carries, and sings.
