Little Envelope of Earth Conditions - Paperback

by Cori Winrock (Author)

This collection charts a voyage of mourning--from the woods of a motherless fairytale to the vastness of space. Following the loss of a mother and baby, these poems explore the impossible distance a griever must travel in order to return back to earth. Part elegy, part love song, these poems teach us how to tend to the dead while carrying on living.
