About this ebook
"Letters to Minnehaha Creek" is a poetry collection that meanders through the passing seasons. The speaker addresses Minnehaha Creek directly and reminisces about her deceased friend, Dorothy. 'Fall' takes place in the aftermath of Dorothy’s death and explores the narrator’s longing for her friend. 'Winter' highlights the narrator’s sadness and acceptance that Dorothy is truly gone. 'Spring' follows, with a lighter tone as the narrator embraces life after the loss of her friend. 'Summer' offers a sense of renewal, with poems that are letters written from the creek, rather than to it.
Letters to Minnehaha Creek illustrates a vivid path towards healing and rebirth.
