by Lara Payne (Author), Nancy McFalls (Illustrator)
A collection of poetry by Lara Payne, Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Maryland. The poet writes of her connection with the natural world, how we "Prune and cut / Make unrecognizable" to create gardens. A larger part of the poetry involves her relationship to her family, particularly in terms of child bearing and child rearing.
A sample:
Unhand SummerStory me humid
air that swims. You know.
The mulberry returns
verdant, determined.
A certain tightness in the lungs
reminds me: treasure
the breath. Years of lilac
wishing. Count slowly.
Minutes weigh more than days.
