Publisher's Synopsis
ABOUT THE BOOK Where Eagles Weep is a collection of free-form narrative, descriptive, and lyrical poetry and verse, set in North America, but relevant to the world. It is written over the past number of years, from the perspective and observations of a Canadian woman who grew up on the prairies and resided for some time on the West Coast. This is not "pretty" poetry. In several individual selections, the author addresses the "underbelly" of humanity, although she usually attempts to find the light that follows the dark. In one section, she masterfully tackles contemporary Canadian challenges, issues such as euthanasia, the Truth and Reconciliation inquiry into residential schools for First Nations peoples, the disappearance of women on the "Highway of Tears", the homeless and the lost. In other sections she writes about regional life and culture, and about love, loss, grief, and immortality. As always, her writings emphasize the natural world and spiritual connotations, both thought-provoking and inspirational. Reading the poetry of Where Eagles Weep often stirred my emotions in ways few books of poetry have. No wonder Sheila Carnegie is the author of multiple best-sellers! She shares both light-hearted and deeply moving poetry inspired by topics making national headlines today as well as her life events. You must find some quiet, alone time to read and ponder this beautiful book of poetry and its relevance in your life today. Jan Myers, Best-Selling Author and CEO LJM Publishing, LLC
