Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-12 00:00:00 Robert Collins A truly beautiful and thoughtful collection of essays, poems and other pieces celebrating Winter. This was my first experience with Luci Shaw's writing and with Madeleine L'Engle's non-fiction. I look forward to exploring both further. and to including this slim volume in my annual holiday re-read tradition (along with Dickens' A Christmas Carol).

Review # 2 was written on 2011-01-24 00:00:00 Daniel Itatani I spun this out through the space of a winter yet I finished it early. It was a pleasure having Madeleine somehow present every morning. I confess, though, that Luci Shaw mostly leaves me cold. She has some jarring metaphors that really do not fly. Next to Madeleine she falls flat -- except for the poem equating snow with the "salt of the Lord". I enjoyed that one, and it often reconciled snow to me, making it a cleansing thing.
