Last leaf first snowflake to fall

Yerxa, Leo, 1947- (Author).

Last Leaf First Snowflake to Fall takes us on a dreamlike voyage into nature at that secret moment when fall turns into winter. A First Nations father and son lead us through forests, down rivers, over lakes and ponds to experience the bridging of the seasons. Along the way we experience the primordial beauty of the physical world. Through lyrical words and a masterful collage technique, Leo Yerxa has created an exquisite and poetic evocation of this moment. Their route is random, allowing them to chance upon special places, untouched and very old. The angular, melancholy light of late autumn brings the natural world into sharp relief before all is softened by the first snowfall.
