(Seattle: Marrowstone Press, 2021)
This book of poems includes “many voices in many places, like snapshots saved in a scrapbook.” The author takes readers on a journey that begins in the South, moves to the Northeast and New England, shifts to Texas and the Middle West, and then travels to the Pacific Coast. “It concludes with another sort of pilgrimage, with its intimations of journeys’ end,” the publisher notes. “Throughout, it is concerned with one theme most of all, the intersection of place, time, and self as each speaks through the other of the meanings that bind them, and us, together.”
