Poems build from the elemental to the mythical: \"...we watch gold skies \/ disappear in the landscape.\" For everything we can touch and hold in these poems, something slips out of our grip, out of focus. These poems are boats that drift from shoreline to shoreline over a sometimes dangerous river. They are chalk marks on a driveway. As each veil is peeled away, another continues to distort reality: \"Deep in this history, \/ we blend sorrow.\" Through the poems of \u003cem\u003eThe Architect of Elsewhere\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDonna Wolf-Palacio\u003c\/strong\u003e asks question after question that can only be answered by elemental, animal wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Courtney Bambrick\u003c\/strong\u003e, Poetry Editor, \u003cem\u003ePhiladelphia Stories\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Architect of Elsewhere, \u003c\/em\u003e a steady speaker guides the reader through that which is unknowable, but infinitely ripe for contemplation.

The beauty and strangeness of nature, the consideration of paths taken and not taken, all are evoked with a voice that rises to the surface, sure of its mysterious wisdom. \"[I]t's what keeps you here,\" says the poet, \"what you have fought to know.\"\u003cstrong\u003e-Aimee Hearon\u003c\/strong\u003e, Poet and teacher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Architect of Elsewhere\u003c\/em\u003e: In an alchemy of Zen and physics, passion and possibilities, \u003cstrong\u003eDonna Wolf-Palacio\u003c\/strong\u003e takes us out into the universe and back to our own beating hearts.\u003cstrong\u003e-Kathryn Watterson\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eNot by the Sword, Voices of African American \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrinceton\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWomen in Prison\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 23, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52727070851379,"sku":"9798888380246","price":42.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TkZVRUd4aVVZZVdjVWRRQjhBUmZwUT09.webp?v=1763751701","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-architect-of-elsewhere-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
