A collection of dramatic verse and urban sketches that probe love, faith, and the longing of the human heart.
This edition gathers a sweeping set of poems that move from quiet domestic longing to bold quests for meaning. It blends mythic touch with modern life, offering intimate portraits and panoramic scenes alike. Readers will encounter love as both ache and grace, faith tested by desire, and a fearless curiosity about the world.
- Portraits of longing and redemption, from the Magdalene’s struggle to the call of the sea and the sky.
- Vivid scenes of rural and urban life, nature’s beauty, and the pull of memory across landscapes.
- Audio-like rhythms and forms, from rondels to a searing Sestina, that experiment with mood and pace.
- A blend of tenderness, defiance, humor, and melancholy that invites reflection on human trials and triumphs.
Ideal for readers of early 20th-century poetry who seek a-prickly, heartfelt examination of love, faith, and the costs of desire as they intersect with daily life.
