Synopsis

Sometimes you have to go somewhere to get counsel. Sometimes that place is the mountaintop, and sometimes it’s the river of time coursing inside you. In this debut collection, poet Sarah Flame excavates the landscapes of her life to create a bhakti devotional path: one where she and others might recover “from the loss / of things torched / by rational minds / trying to make sense / of what is pulsing / holy and pure.” In this mystic’s tale, we find memory, music, and ecstatic union with the earth informing poems that move by way of a special power, subtly resisting easy answers and common sense. Here, we find the miraculous desert, wild with powerful women breaking through the earth. Here, we find the waves of waters on which once-distant goddesses rise to meet us. Here, a mysterious lady arrives on the scent of roses, opening to us her cloak of stars.
