The pandemic has taught the world loneliness but we have always been lonely and wounded. We just cant see it. Were in the fog always.These poems seem shrouded in mist the meaning always elusive as though we are forced to drive through veils to find the meaning through this surreal landscape. What an exquisite and beautiful book! -Maria Mazziotti Gillan American Book Award winnerThe Fog is a triumph capturing truths so clear and elemental we might in our justifiable fear have failed to recognize them. -Catherine Doty author of Wonderama and Momentum
