Publisher's Synopsis
Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg, poet laureate of Kansas, presents her fourth book of poems, Landed. The collection is rich with details both sacred and commonplace-the fine-honed work of a poet at her peak. Environment interweaves with mythology. Mirriam-Goldberg is a master of the paradoxical as she gifts the reader with insights that are at once disconcerting and comforting; as she holds joy and grief in the same hand, and asks us to trust the maker of these poems-her courage, her wisdom, and her truthtelling, as if she's lived infinity. Mirriam-Goldberg is the author of 10 books, including poetry, memoir, and a writing guide. She is founder of Transformative Language Arts at Goddard College where she teaches.
