Forest Journey

Foreword
Eliza Gardiner is one of the most prolific young writers
in Canada today. She is a graduate of screen writing courses
at York University and U.C.L.A. Although she has travelled
extensively, she remains a part time resident of Haliburton
County.
This is her first book of poetry and promises even better
things to come. Poems are like a mirror reflecting the soul
of a poet. The poems in this book are haunting with their
revelation of beauty, innocence, and emotional turmoil. Although
still in her early twenties,
Eliza is no stranger to love, death, and the need for
spirtital insights to make this existence a little more human,
a little less lonely. The love and compassion of these poemsprovide a pulsating life force, radiating warmth and
hope through empty black space towards distant uncaring
galaxies.
