Body of the World

Arts & Literature

“In this collection of highly accessible poems, Rossiter gently teaches us ‘Over and over again / how important it is to stay awake / because everything passes / every last thing.’ Often spiritual, sometimes autobiographical, the poems are frequently luscious with images of the body of the world, animals, and birds. Spending time with Rossiter is an intimate experience where we find ourselves guided, with humanity and kindness, to hold light and dark, calm and chaos, in profound union.”
