About This Book
A sequence of intense lyric and psalm-like poems moves between devotional address and tempestuous natural scenes, employing stark images of moonlight, snow, mountains, and riding to articulate spiritual yearning, shame, and the longing for reconciliation. Many pieces register communal suffering and moral indictment of collective violence, while others examine private anguish, memory, and the effort to embody or reveal transcendent meaning. Shifts in tone—from petitionary prayer to ecstatic or prophetic outcry—produce a fevered, searching voice that balances intimate lament with broader social and cosmological meditation.
