Japanese Garden

Arts & Literature

“Japanese Garden is a remarkable collection of poems, inspired as much by the poet’s intimate and lyrical encounters with the aesthetics of a particular place as by her affinity with the forms and sensibility of traditional Japanese poetry. Deceptively simple, the poems present a master class in what Robert Bly called ‘deep image,’ where the realms of the physical and spiritual unite. As Nellie deVries implores us: ‘Come!’ Wonders await.”
