Canada: Threads of Land and Spirit is a lyrical tribute to a land vast in horizon yet intimate in spirit. In this evocative collection, poet Herbert Hagell guides readers on a contemplative pilgrimage from the icy rivers of the Yukon to the tide-washed sands of Atlantic shores. Along the way, we stand beneath ancient pines, trace the whispered prayers of First Nations ancestors, and watch dawn bloom over silent lakes.

These poems hold the rhythms of Canada’s seasons – the hush of winter’s treachery, the blaze of autumn’s maple fire, and the endless stretch of prairie skies. Interwoven are reflections on belonging, resilience, and the unseen threads that bind land, people, and spirit into a tapestry of quiet power.

Written in a voice at once tender and profound, Canada: Threads of Land and Spirit is a sanctuary for those seeking beauty, renewal, and a deeper connection with the natural and cultural soul of this northern nation. Whether read beside a woodstove on a snowy night or under a summer sky at dawn, these verses offer a gentle refuge and a profound remembering of what it means to call this land home.
