Rating: - Deeply moving imagery
Here is poetry that is spare yet incredibly rich and fulfilling. I found myself going back for more and more, with every reading revealing new morsals to savor.

There are poems here that lovers should read to each other; others need to be savored in a quiet space, alone. This volume needs to be by everyone's bedside and in everyone's backpack when communing with nature.
