Secret Conversations, Reflections in Nature

Secret Conversations—Reflections on Nature is an enchanting collection of poems, drawings and photographs that evoke the beauty, humor and lifelong observations of a poet who cleaves to wild spaces. Sentient author, Tom Conlan weaves lyrical verse throughout the lovely artwork of several artists including his wife Glenda Conlan. This is a compilation of artistic expression that celebrates nature by a man who worries for…” mother earth, for gentle beings”. This lovely collaboration is reminiscent of the writings of Wendell Berry, farmer and naturalist. Conlan’s poems are deeply elegiac and speak of the enduring strength of his connections to animals, plants and, of course, love:

In old age when mammoth limbs fall in the wind

gnarled beauty remains like the sparkle in the eyes

of a greying couple paired still in old age

— Ellen Lord, Poet & Author of Relative Sanity (2023)
