The Atheist Wore Goat Silk

<p>In her third collection of poems <em>The Atheist Wore Goat Silk</em> Anna Journey once again celebrates the profusion of sensuality erupting from the material world. As she weaves dark fables luminous family memories and hard-edged personal tales into a singular fabric Journey charts the boundaries of absence and departure delineating the separations that we often hope to stitch back together at the intersections of the body and the imagination.</p><p>Rhythmically charged and lyrically narrative these poems are rich with verbal cascades and currents of mordant reflections. Throughout this collection both readers and the poet are linked by a delicate and elegantly spun web of verse.</p>
