Seasons of Life showcases joyful and nostalgic poetry that captures beautiful moments in Susan McLeod's life. She focuses on four main topics: childhood, family, seasons of life, and holidays where she describes different activities of her life and family. In the beginning, we get to know her closely with her vivid memories, childhood experiences, games, and coexistence. She also tells of her activities with her mother, father, and grandparents. She then focuses on depicting the positive aspects of the seasons and concludes by exalting the joy of some of her most classic holidays. Seasons of Life is a clear demonstration of a harmonious family environment. The feelings this work conveys are comforting and pleasant.
Susan McLeod uses simple poetry with a melodious structure. Her sentences are harmonious and convey quiet moments. I liked how she was so open with her feelings. Her childhood took place when television and photographs were in black and white. For this reason, she narrates moments like walking with her grandpa or visiting her grandma's farm. She takes sensations into account too when she talks about being at the beach or a fair and gives a lot of importance to colors, so it is easy to imagine the scenes she depicts. One of my favorite parts is when she talks about holidays as she uses specific details; for example, at Christmas, she describes the candles that catch her attention in a church. I recommend Seasons of Life to all audiences, especially those who want to relax or evoke beautiful images.
