Ebook: Burying the Wren

Alive to the world and the transformative qualities of love, the poems in this collection concern emotions and relationships. Utilizing a clear and mature vision, the poet lyrically expresses experiences concerning love and family. Skillfully pitting the ordinary yet mysterious "small things" of the universe, such as flowers, against loss, these poems also elegize the poet's late husband, poet and critic Michael Murphy.;Cover; Title Page; Dedication; Epigraph; Contents; I; Three Glances at a Field of Poppies; Burying the Wren; A Dream of Constellations; After You Died; Dogwoman; II; Trilobite; Truffles; A Chinese Lacquer Egg; Shaved Fennel with Blood Oranges, Pomegranate, Pecorino; Couvade; Daughter II; Aderyn Yr Eira; Slugs; Hallucigenia; My Grandfather's Tattoo; Daughter III; L; III; from The Songs of Elisabeth So; IV; Shrub & Willow; The Fetch; The Box; A Scattering; Chinese Lanterns; Peony; Moon River; Kinks; Ellipsis; Stillborn; Letter From Marrakesh; Meteor; Persephone; Tom-Tom; Burying The Wren.
