Description
This pamphlet, the third from Raine Geoghegan, weaves together themes of winter, sleep, and stone to create an extraordinary work. A tree is likened to more stone than bark, while a woman struggles to escape feeling; fatigue can turn another person into stone.
Geoghegan explores rituals of birth, death, and sex, as well as the natural world and its creatures, which embody a wild and resilient life spirit. The Inuit goddess Sedna and the Hindu goddess Kali Ma feature in the work, representing feminine power and subversive energy.
This tightly-themed pamphlet is greater than the sum of its parts, offering nourishment and guidance for readers. It will be of interest to those familiar with Geoghegan's previous work, as well as newcomers drawn to her compelling and healing poetry.
