Penned during a season in Greece, this collection of poetry, photographs, and visual art is a study in different notions of tenderness & connection. How do humans love one another? The Numinous? Flora and fauna? The world at large? What can love heal? And-perhaps more difficult to ask-how does it fail us? The artistry & originality of this book are focused on embracing & exploring the earnestness & sentimentality that many students of poetry have been taught to reflexively dismiss.
