Extract from "A Handful of Wild Cherries"

My mother and I will tend the tree

through the cycle of seasons

until a small boy happens along—

perhaps with my father’s brown eyes

and ginger lashes, his nimble hands

and a taste for cherries

running wild in his veins.

In this intimate and contemplative collection, Tanya Bellehumeur-Allatt traces the parallels between the inner landscape of her family and the changing seasons of North Hatley. Memory, carried like seeds in the pocket, opens into unexpected horizons, where sorrow transforms into beauty and the ordinary becomes sacred. Trees appear as witnesses and faithful companions, offering solace in grief and standing quietly alongside moments of joy.
