Every Broken Year:
The Persephone Cycle
“Condensing isn’t about making things smaller. It’s about getting to the core of the thing so that you can see how absolutely expansive and huge the most basic, humble, small moments & feelings really are.
Every Broken Year enacts this, and when I read these poems, I have the overwhelming feeling that we don’t need much in order to live, feel, and make abundantly.”
