Fragrance of Thyme A Poetic Gift From the Soul of an Artist

Fielden, a Canadian literary and theatrical icon, has just released Fragrance of Thyme, an anthology of her poetic works covering the period from the mid-1950s through to the present day. She has provided her fans with an open door to her life, inviting them inside to be embraced by her hospitality, her wisdom, and her considerable insight into the human condition.

The chronology, the time-line linkage, of Fragrance of Thyme is perfect. Fielding opens with her poetry from the 1950s when she was a woman in love. She moves forward through a time of children, and then grandchildren, and then the sorrowful period upon the death of her parents and her cherished sisters, Leah and Eve. The sorrow is so genuine, so palpable that, at times, it is almost as though a reader would wish to reach out to touch and heal a breaking heart.

What follows in Fragrance of Thyme is poetry from an extraordinarily reflective period in Fielden's life. She writes of the weather, the cycle of life, her garden, the kindness of strangers, her perspective on life itself. The poetry clearly comes from the soul of a woman who has loved, who has lost, and who has persevered through all of life's countless challenges.

Fans of poetry, fans of Fielden herself, will greatly appreciate this collection. They will see it for what it is -- a poetic journey through the time and tides of life. Fragrance of Thyme is lovingly created, beautifully constructed, and emotionally heartfelt -- just like Fielden's poetry.

Fragrance of Time is Charlotte Fielden's eighth published book, her sixth in the past four years. Her artistic career has spanned the theatrical stage (she played in The Merchant of Venice, under Tyrone Guthrie, at the Canadian Stratford Festival), and television (she starred as Susie the mouse in the CBC series Chez Helene). Fielden has also enjoyed a lengthy, recognized career as a novelist and playwright. She is a founding member of both the Playwrights Guild of Canada and The Writers Union of Canada.
