The Wild Lily Institute
In celebration of Canada's 150 Year Anniversary
Hallmark
They had expected her classic portrait through the wine,
the deep oil on canvas, the triune colour,
her hidden nest near the forested body of water,
reflecting the wild and winsome throughout time.
About the Book . . .
This poignant and lyrical collection rises to stir our hearts from poverty to the ornamental. Emily Isaacson writes her sacred words as we enter the Baroque era of the internet. . .
She sets out to make a postmodern impact by using colour and style paired with the creativity necessary for survival.
Poetry the Size of a Novel
Emily Isaacson signed with Dove Christian Publishers in 2017 for her book Hallmark. This new work has over a hundred new poems and thirty new sonnets, including Sonnet of Tears, a poem about missing aboriginal women on the Highway of Tears.

A Gift With Outstretched Hands
I give you the land of Canada,
the gifts of following further,
growing in silence,
and daring to believe in beauty.
Canada, expanse
of the beautiful and free,
may liberty crown you with justice
in the realm of the unseen.

—Emily Isaacson
