Winter Garden

Poetry. "In WINTER GARDEN, everything slides toward the leaf rot and the twisted roots—the apparitions of a father, two countries, the landscapes of childhood, and the hinterlands of obsession and imagination. Aesthetics and hand tools, myth and winter light, and so much of the world's raw materials become hopelessly entangled and ultimately numinous. This book is a paean to place, a witness to the mysteries of the examined life, and a true gift for those of us who think the poet's profession is to invent a new language for a singular vision."—Michael McGriff
