Ebook: Take the Compass

Rich and nuanced poems that lead the reader to rivers, city outskirts, pandemic-closed cafes, forests, dream landscapes, daily treasures, and losses.

A strong theme of journeys is threaded through Take the Compass. In a sense, every poem is itself a journey – through cities and their outskirts, to rivers, forests, and graveyards. They travel in time into the troubled present, across decades into childhood, and into our perilous collective futures, seeking guides for these explorations.
