Some Things in This World: Poems - Paperback

by Joyce Thomas (Author)

In Joyce Thomas's third book, the beauty, wonder, and marvel of the natural world are memorably evoked in meticulously crafted poems. At times elegiac, at times playful, poems take inspiration from-and hold witness to-the natural world as it is, as well as the abuses to which humans have subjected it. Calling on the past and foreseeing into a future, both grappling with extinctions, Some Things in This World uses the power and transcendent possibilities of the sympathetic imaginative and the transformative magic of language to hold a mirror to our world.
