by Éireann Lorsung (Author)
A breath-stopping collection of contemporary poetry exploring family, nature, and the passage of time.
In Pattern-book, Éireann Lorsung invites readers to pay close attention to the world around them, exploring themes of family life, art history, grief, and the natural world. Through sonnets, couplets, quatrains, and invented forms, Lorsung draws on her experiences in the American Midwest, England, and Flanders, creating a collection that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
Threaded through with filaments of others' poems, this collection is perfect for readers who appreciate lyrical language and thoughtful reflection. Discover poems about flax, fieldfares, rivers, fathers and brothers, lovers, fabrics, sewing, sowing, grammar, bicycles, umbrellas, rain and snow, fading light, damp houses, tea, gardens, glass jars, distance, language, breath, touch, and the strangeness of metaphor.
