Description
Spanning five decades of work, this comprehensive collection traces a singular poetic imagination as it moves through family, love, loss, myth, nature, and the search for renewal. Recurring figures and images—including Persephone, gardens, trees, fields, animals, and the moon—reappear in transformed forms, creating an intricate conversation across individual poems and volumes. Written in language of deceptive simplicity and profound emotional precision, these poems explore grief, isolation, memory, desire, and the possibility of making something new from darkness. The collection offers an essential portrait of one of the most influential American poets of her generation.
