Description
After Rain is a meditation on love, marriage, isolation, pregnancy, and motherhood. Full of revelation, reverence and revelry, these poems carry us through portals to reveal the stark beauty of life. With a keen sense of paradox and wonder, Carolyn Hunter's poetry explores the verdant understory of our lives.
Set in the Rocky Mountains, After Rain is a portrait of a woman repairing her marriage in pandemic times, entering the wide berth of motherhood and tending the tender shoots of a new family. Hunter lets us peer over the sill of her marriage to witness its disappointments and enchantments. There are stories of longing for her ancestral roots in Ireland and her aching desire for sovereignty. She opens our eyes to the beauty of wild places and the wildernesses within.
With rich illustrations by artist Jessica Bernstein, After Rain is a moonbeam to light up the dark thresholds we all cross in the ongoing journey of becoming ourselves.
