“Sense of Season” is Cameron Colan’s first poetry chapbook published by Bottlecap Press. This project is the culmination of a years-long project and a lifetime of observation. It is a quiet unfolding, a meditative collection of poems that listens as much as it speaks. Rooted in wonder and memory, these pieces trace the invisible threads between the human spirit and the natural world. Cameron Colan’s poems move like wind through tall grass, pausing with the trees, the moon, the shifting sky. In their stillness, they ask how we grow and return, how we shed and emerge, and how the cycles within us echo those of the Earth.
Threaded with reverence and stillness, the collection invites readers into a slower rhythm, one that mirrors the quiet intelligence of the Earth. Each poem becomes a moment of presence, a reminder that deep connection begins with attention. What emerges through these pages is not just reflection, but a becoming, a sense of season.
This project was edited by Alyce Shu & Nico Bryan.
The cover imagery and design are by Cameron Colan, featuring sunflowers dancing with snow on the prairie. A moment captured in the peak of a Texas summer, within the fields where Colan grew up exploring the wonders of the natural world.
