Synopsis

Stephen Meadows' WINTER WORK is a collection that resounds with intense observations of place. Each poem is a clean and reverent gesture of understanding - natural elements, the damage we inflict upon the land, our history. With brevity and precision, he takes readers on a journey of illness, grief, love and quiet joy. Memories make story and Meadows makes the geography of feeling a map of locations we want to explore.
