Ink on Snow 14+

📙 What unites all the poems in Ink on Snow is the voice of someone brave enough to see closely both the painful and the beautiful--to ask what will satisfy and to trust the words to respond in the way we trust prayers to be answered: not with easy solutions or simple fixes, but with a recognition that what we are looking for will never reveal itself in the way we expect it to. So many of the poems are acts of witness by a speaker who is both detached and passionate, intimate and observant, conscious of her distance from things--tragedies, natural phenomenon, people--and determined to bridge this distance through the agency of a loving and courageous language, exploring the dark energies that inform her life and the world's and in doing so, illuminating our lives and hers.
