Minstrel Weather

Weather has moods, and Marian Storm set them to prose. These lyric essays follow the year's changing skies: thaw winds and April rain, hayfield heat, the first sharp mornings of fall, snow that hushes the world. Storm writes like a poet walking bareheaded, alert to birdsong, cloud light, and the feel of each season on the skin. Short, musical, and quietly joyful, her chapters are perfect between-times listening, a walk outdoors when you cannot get one. Let the weather in; it has stories.
