Here and There
Roderick MacDonald
In this song-like collection of 50 short poems inspired by rural Prince Edward Island, Canada, Roderick MacDonald elevates the commonplace and simple in entertaining and thoughtful verse.
Through his poetry MacDonald invites the listener to accompany him on a gentle walk through the changing seasons on his beloved island. His words evoke the beach: sand under foot, lapping waves, and spectacular sunsets anointing old, abandoned lighthouses. He celebrates the harvests of both land and ocean. With him we tread red-dirt roads past fields of barley and tiny fishing harbours. We feel the island’s rhythms and glimpse its treasures: soaring eagles, shimmering lakes, and crackling campfires at end of the day….
Listen now and be transported!
