These poems come from a poet at the height of her powers, able to swim into deep pools of the senses and the deeper pools of understanding, subtle and complex as multiple ripples spreading and rebounding on the surface of a pond. These are poems to come for the pure pleasure in words and rhythms and play, then return again and again, for the intimate whisperings of a truer life under the surfaces of things.
—Marjorie Hudson, author of Accidental Birds of the Carolinas

my heart again and again,

the woods for the way trees
bend, fall, and return to dirt.
