A lyrical, free verse poetry collection based on the theme of awakening to and finding oneself. Heavy on natural imagery and internal reflection with an awakener voice and vision like that of Rilke or Roethke, this collection by Laura Gustafson is a modern masterpiece. Its exploration of self and how we relate to the modern world vs. the natural world is truly unique, and it also touches on the growing apathy and romantic ups and downs of our modern age.
