Motherland

In Sally Thomas's Motherland, the poet keenly observes the ephemeral and the everlasting in the lens of time--the daily into seasonal transformations, the gifts and wonders of nature and people. Motherland by turns hails and interrogates in matters of flesh, of faith and spirituality--especially so in the "Richeldis of Walsingham" poem sequence. This finalist in the Able Muse Book Award is a collection abounding in insight, hope, grace, surprises, and yes, love.
