Synopsis

These poems consider everything from the most transformative moments of childhood to the intense hold that mythological and literary history have on the poetic imagination. They examine the enduring complexity of our relationship with nature and suggest that a deep engagement with the life of the senses and the force of memory can create a kind of contentment.

Review

These well-wrought poems come from an attentive traveler who knows darkness and yet perseveres towards light and song. Intimate with the difficult world, its ruptures and its raptures, her moving lyrics, in their negotiations with history, myth, and quotidian imagery, never lose their impulse to embrace.

Michael Morse, author of Void and Compensation

They appear orderly, but these poems are stealth objects, with verbs that snap and startle and metaphors that hurl you someplace else

Diane Mehta, author of Forest with Castanets
