Book Description:
|
Both an account of travel and a collection of ecstatic lyrics, these poems excavate an idea of place, one layered deep for the poet and archeologist to discover. Looking through these poems into artifacts and ruined places, we hear ¿spirits of that barren landscape call out still,¿ and we feel, again and again, what connects us to the past is stronger than what separates us from it.
