Description
With arresting perceptions and lyric tonalities, Lush's poetry lays bare the complexities involved in all loving relationships, revealing the compromises in the strongest of loves, yet never settling for anything less than total honesty. This new collection of poems is nature poetry at its strongest and most insightful, the images connecting to give voice to our many uncertainties as we creep further into an already darkening 21st century.
