Motherland
Motherland: Poems | Sally Thomas
5 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
In Sally Thomas's Motherland, the poet keenly observes the ephemeral and the everlasting in the lens of time--the daily into seasonal transformations, the gifts and wonders of nature and people. Motherland by turns hails and interrogates in matters of flesh, of faith and spirituality--especially so in the "Richeldis of Walsingham" poem sequence. This finalist in the Able Muse Book Award is a collection abounding in insight, hope, grace, surprises, and yes, love.

#silver #poetrymatters @TheSpineView This poem is from a cycle that was also published separately in a chapbook which I will tag in the comments.

I‘ll be sharing more poems over the next few days, so I won‘t quote any more. But if you like your poetry with a tinge of melancholy, if you like poems that explore all the stages of a woman‘s life: kids, and husband, and parents, and the loneliness of being human, then you want to read this book. Out on May 29th (but pre-orderable) I got mine early because I know the poet. 😀

Poetry lovers - this lovely volume is coming soon. You can preorder it now, but I already have a signed copy, because the poet is my good friend and godmother to my daughter. I also added a book to the Litsy database for the first time. 😀 #poetrymatters #friendswiththeauthor

TheSpineView Thanks for the heads up! 5y
