Description
Crushed Wild Mint is a collection of poems that explore land love and ancestral wisdom, deeply rooted to the poet's homeland. Jess Housty grapples with the natural and supernatural, transformation and the hard work of living that our bodies are doing.
Their poetry invites the reader's whole body to be transported in the experience, conversing with mountains, animals, and all our kin beyond the human realm as they sit beside their ancestors' bones. Through these poems, we can explore living and loving as a practice, and placemaking as an essential part of exploring our humanity and relationality.
With textural language that evokes blossoms, feathers, and stubborn blots of snow, Jess Housty's poetry offers a sensory experience that invites us to look both inward and outward. This collection is a powerful exploration of history, futurity, ceremony, sexuality, grieving, and thriving.
