This collection of densely accessible poems evokes the subtle power of the Midwestern landscape and its sometimes-unseen impact on the lives of those who live there. Informed by Richmond’s profession as an archivist, the collection explores themes of love, loss, and what remains after we’re gone. With elegant and haunting language, this slim volume illuminates the pivotal moments in our lives - both small and large - and the ways they transform our experience. Deeply connected to the land in unusual and at times violent ways, Richmond’s poems explore the complexities of human relationships with compassion and understanding. Her vision is sharp and her sense of place vivid, as she weaves lines of grace and soul, lines she has pulled off the prairies of the Midwest and seen floating in her own visions, colliding into stanzas which feel like personal letters to old friends as much as illustrations and pieces of music. By turns darkly humorous and deeply personal, this volume of poetry is truly a journey worth taking. 'Heather Richmond is astounding in the scope of her observations and in the hypnotic subtlety of her voice' - Mad Zebra Press 'Authentic, gentle, and wise, this poetry speaks to the place within that you didn’t know anyone else had been.' - Award-winning short story author Kim Sedlock 3
