Our Hands a Hollow Bowl

Winner of the 2017 Grayson Books Poetry Prize, Our Hands a Hollow Bowl praises the world, while seeing it with full clarity. The tilt of a rusty mailbox, sparrows on a wire, an argument silenced by the sight of a huge and ancient tree…it’s the small things that hold the poet’s attention, and the poems in this book reveal the truths she finds in them. The graceful, poignant poems in this book reflect the wisdom of a mature writer, a woman at home in the language and sure of her craft. Our Hands a Hollow Bowl is a beautiful read.
