Description

Through the enduring alchemy of language A Mortar of Seeds presents poems that express loss and estrangement while sustaining a sense of affirmation and mystery. These poems are melancholy landscapes haunted by the dead, who find their way home now in the wind and the rain, and who inhabit every shadow.
