A rich suite of lyric poems that travels across American scenes, from sunlit fields to city streets, and invites quiet reflection.
In this collection, Edith Franklin Wyatt gives voice to wide landscapes and intimate moments alike. The poems explore the rhythms of land and rain, the pull of progress, and the hush of evening, all delivered in clear, accessible language. Readers will notice a steady pulse of gratitude for nature, paired with a keen eye for urban life and memory.
Across decades of tone and setting, the book seeks a shared sense of place—where wheat fields meet river currents, where city avenues echo with wind and water, and where daily life becomes a canvas for small, luminous truths. This edition presents the poems as a steady companion for moments of pause, wonder, and thoughtful strolls through both countryside and city.
- Vivid depictions of cornfields, rivers, and plains alongside bustling urban scenes

- An emphasis on memory, place, and the passage of time

Ideal for readers who enjoy reflective poetry about place, travel, and everyday life, and for anyone looking for quiet beauty in concise, image-rich verse.
