This Persistent Gravity

<p><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>This Persistent Gravity</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> explores our deepest longings to find wholeness our desire to set things right and to as Wordsworth wrote see into the life of things. This desire to reconcile only exists because things have gone wrong sometimes in sudden terrible ways but mostly in gradual inevitable ways the consequences of daily living-aging parents broken hearts even growing children. Inspired by Romantic poetry astronomy physics nature and motherhood the poems in this debut collection chronicle what it means to live and lose and what exists in the wake of our losses. It's about waiting surrendering and rediscovering joy and awe in the midst of a fallen world.</span></p>
