River of Black Stones

About this book

River of Black Stones is a dark meditation on memory and experience, flowing through narratives of consciousness that reflect upon the weight of loss. Each voice moves uniquely through time and place, cynical, hopeful, surreal, Romantic, as lyrical and sensual as the seasonally-driven verses of Green Leavings . In these poems, there is a thirst for the bitter drink of life. And where there is collapse, there is construction; where there is pain, there is a blessing; and where there is sorrow, there is joy.
