Lexicon of the Body

<p>The poems in<em> Lexicon of the Body </em>are grounded in the physical experiences of intimacy and separation perpetual change and transformation. Sometimes quiet sometimes fierce and always direct these poems dive into the deep end of the ordinary joys and the big questions of a human life lived through the body and the senses.</p><p><br></p><p>In these poems relationships of all kinds come together unfold and fall apart. Children and lovers parents and spouses as well as pets gardens and a love for the earth and the landscape invite the reader into a world both private and particular and yet deeply universal. Exploring themes of desire and gratitude as well as disappointment and loss the focus rests upon honesty and authenticity.</p><p><br></p><p>In <em>Lexicon of the Body</em> by DM Wallace we are reminded that the beauty and wonder of the human body binds us all together. While we think of our forms as private and precious only to us through them we learn empathy wisdom and a sense of belonging to each other that transcends language.</p><p><br></p>
