OverviewMoving between songful expressions of mourning, solace, delight, and play, poems in Stonechat span themes of family, grief, joy, beauty, human nature, the natural world, love, parenting, and discovery. Within these pages Jacobsen explores, sometimes in form and sometimes in invented form, how the world appears, how we live in the world, and how she responds to the world, whether in relationship to others, to nature, or to the imaginative musings of the creative spirit.
