Poems of the Heart and Home

A window into one woman's intimate correspondence with the natural world, these poems carry the quiet conviction of Victorian-era Canadian poetry at its most sincere. Mrs. J. C. Yule gathered verses written under various pseudonyms across years of observation and feeling, presenting them here alongside newer work as an offering to readers who might recognize themselves in her meditations on love, loss, and the changing seasons. The Canadian landscape threads through every page, not as spectacle but as companion, the boreal woods and prairie winds becoming witnesses to the heart's quieter moments. This is not poetry of grand declarations but of careful attention, the kind that asks readers to slow down and inhabit a feeling fully before moving on. For anyone seeking the warmth of a well-lit room on a winter's night, or the particular melancholy of autumn leaves, these poems offer companionship.
