Acanthus and Wild Grape by Frank Call

Acanthus and Wild Grape by Frank Call is a lyrical collection inspired by the imagery of plants, gardens, and natural landscapes. The acanthus, long associated with classical architecture, and the wild grape, a symbol of untamed growth, together suggest a balance between cultivated beauty and the freedom of nature.

Call’s poetry reflects a deep appreciation for landscape and seasonal change. Through vivid imagery and measured language, the poems explore themes of nature, growth, and reflection on the quiet rhythms of the natural world.

Acanthus and Wild Grape offers readers a contemplative collection rooted in both classical symbolism and Canadian landscapes.
