Earthen - Thomas Festa

Earthen offers poems meditating on grief and passion, their interrelations, their beguiling renewals. Charting an individual path from experiences of death and divorce, through childrearing and teaching, to rediscovery of love, these poems seek our common ground in quiet, moments of lyric reflection. With a keen attention to the histories of words, places, and selves, the poems in Earthen environ us.
