Description
Geri Doran's third collection seeks a quieter poem in a more natural form. Against the immediacy of troubled times, these poems retain a belief that long thought, solitude, restraint, and immersion in the world given to us can be a means of passionate devotion. The poet's reliance on language is tested in these meditative lyrics, which explore the limits of expression. The lines and tones are modal, flexible, and sonorous, tracing one route back from doubt and uncertainty. In this collection, Geri Doran navigates the complexities of poetry and the self, seeking a way forward through stillness and contemplation.
