Elemental
Poems by Kortney Garrison
The poems of this brand new chapbook take their place in the circle of the year: seasons, moons, the human rhythms of waking and sleep. These poems exist where silence becomes song.
There are few abstractions here. Rather the poems are rooted in the natural world. The precise images point us toward what is real.
These poems come out of the imagist and haiku traditions where small moments hold the potential for revelation.
“These poems pierce through the welter and noise of modern life, calling us back to all that we can hold in our hands, showing us how to love the world one syllable at a time.” —Melissa Wiley
