Overwintering

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Exploring what survives and grows from the dark energies of winter, night, and loss as well as from the buried past and the imagination's depths, this poetry collection by the U.K.'s Pippa Little offers a world of imagined realities. Highlighting the aural qualities of these poems, such as rhyme and assonance, the collection delights in qualities of light and texture and depicts picturesque scenes such as elk eating roses in a Swedish garden and individuals dancing beneath a seaweed chandelier.
