South in the world
Jacobson, Lisa2014
Book
A dialogue between the earthly and the ethereal, reality and enchantment, body and spirit-those southern and northern poles by which we navigate the world. The poems in this collection speak to family, love and daily living as well as a world blighted by cataclysm and touched by redemption.
