Sense of Season, by Cameron Colan

Poetry, chapbook, 32 pages, from Bottlecap Features. Sense of Season 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. Cameron Colan is a multidisciplinary artist who believes wonder is a form of wisdom. His recent work explores stillness, presence, and the quiet ways we grow in rhythm with the natural world. Drawing from his own photographs and moments of deep noticing, he paints and writes as a way of opening soft spaces—for reflection, reverence, and seeing differently. He lives in New York City, but his heart is often where the sky is wide and things grow wild.
