Description

An Ode to Terra Mater: Songs of Elemental Grace is a luminous collection of poetry that celebrates Earth as mother, muse, and mystery. In her sixth offering, Dr. Caroline Mathew—poet, educator, and daughter of the Andaman Islands—gathers verses that speak the language of wind, flame, stone, and sea. Rooted in the rhythms of island life and the legacy of indigenous wisdom, these poems invite readers to walk barefoot through memory and listen deeply to nature’s pulse.

With elemental grace and spiritual clarity, each poem becomes a threshold: a prayer for mercy, a hymn of gratitude, a remembrance of sacred cycles. Whether mourning or rejoicing, these verses offer healing, humility, and hope. The collection moves through fire and rain, seed and silence, honouring the divine in the everyday.

This is a book for seekers—for those who find beauty in silence, meaning in ritual, and comfort in the turning of seasons. Both personal and universal, An Ode to Terra Mater is a call to reverence and a celebration of Earth’s enduring spirit.
