About the Book

Jude's newest book intertwines her words with the paintings of Nicholas Jennings. Reviewer Pauline LeBel writes:

"Jude Neale finds inspiration in the beauty of Nicholas Jennings' paintings, evoking tender memories of her life on the island: the gathering of pebbles in a drawstring purse; skipping stones onto the mirrored sea with her five-year-old; the summer when her paddles held dragonflies."

The poems in Water Forgets Its Own Name reflect on nature, memory, and the passage of time, with water as a central metaphor for forgetting and remembering, flowing and returning.
