Songs To Myself Jamie Kalousdian

Songs to Myself is a compilation poems and essays that invites the reader to accompany Vivian Pyke through her nearly 20-year spiritual journey as she follows the sun between her summer home in the Thousand Islands of northern New York and the winter beaches of Sanibel Island, Florida. Inspired by the weather and seasons, she draws on the rhythms of nature to write about the universal language of Creation, and to discover the connectedness of all living things. Some of the essays originally appeared in the summer Vacationer section of the Thousand Island Sun, a weekly newspaper published in Alexandria Bay, New York, while others are original works that have never been published before. Vivian now spends her winters closer to family in Ithaca, NY .
