Year of the Hermit: a poetry collection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798268162837)

Year of the Hermit is a poetry collection about the joys and sorrows of living an introspective life. Poet Caitlin Gemmell explores themes of sense of place and belonging, nature reverence and animism as she takes you through the witch's year. From Samhain to Autumn Equinox, these poems explore living a solitary life according to the seasons and the Wheel of the Year.

Year of the Hermit takes you through the wheel of the year, starting with Samhain on November 1st. It is a journey through nature from the perspective of a solitary creature reflecting on the intricacies of life, embracing magic in the mundane, and learning that even happy introverts need kindred spirits to connect with.

A glimpse inside....

From "Porridge for the Tomte: "

It is Yuletide
and the house is quiet
for my son has outgrown
frivolous things,
and my mother is worn
from cronehood,
and I am overflowing
with everyone's expectations
