Each of Judy Gaudets poems is a path to somewhere resonant, redolent of memories and anticipations both bittersweet and beautiful. She traces the paths both bittersweet and beautiful. She traces the paths the mind and body take purposefully as well as those they happen upon by chance or consequence. The poems light on home and history, travel afar, return again. They are marked by toughness of wholly looking and experiencing, and are leavened by wry humour and true gratitude for the beauty and magic that touch the Earth's days, and our human ones.
