Description
Book SynopsisThe subjects of these poems include the lightless cave home of an eyeless, transparent fish known as a blindcat and the imagination of painter Georgia O'Keeffe. They include closely observed images, compelling metaphors, and understanding and sympathy for the natural world.
Trade Review"Elizabeth Dodd's voice is the voice of a land, its living inhabitants, its histories, its stone, its weather. The poems in Archetypal Light bear stendy and attentive witness to the concrete specifics of these earthly elements and to the dreams and visions they suggest. 'Imagine the earth as self-elegy, memory articulated...' Dodd suggests. With salt marsh, cedar, harrier, elk, blue mussel, rock climbers, pioneers, and other astonishing panoplies of life, these poems pursue the way of that imaginative stance and discover the expansive heart of themselves in the journey."-Pattiann Rogers"
