Marianne Bluger (1945–2005)

enjoyed the haiku. wish the photo locations had been identified. ottawa is my city and couldn't locate them which means they could have been anywhere.

Marianne Bluger had a great insight into looking at nature and contrasting them with her feelings. Her ability to craft a collection of words into emotions that the mind's eye can interpret was a wondering gift. And her collection of poems in Gathering Wild shows the wonderful gift she had.

My search into the works of Marianne Bluger led me to a small volume published back in the 1980s. While On Nights Like This may only be 39 pages long, the words are descriptive and thought-provoking.

It is sometimes too easy to forget the natural world around us. We rush around in our modern lives, day in and day out, and forget that there is a world out there. But certain combinations of word can awaken us from our selfish state. And Marianne Bluger's collection of poetry called Summer Grass contains such a combination of words.
