Drift

The poems in Drift range from Cape Cod to Arizona to the Yazidi refugee camps in Greece. In the tradition of writers like Mary Oliver, Lindemann is a generous, wise, and elegant guide to the physical and psychic landscapes she traverses. These are poems about reaching out and about letting go; like all good artists, she finds meaning-and often delight-in the murk of contradiction.

Whether writing about the physical world or about human connections, Lindemann sees the extraordinary in the commonplace and the spiritual in the everyday. Drift is a satisfying, heart-warming collection to return to again and again.

Drift, as a collection of ‘recipes and questions for God, ’ is a surviving citizen of a found world: a rough-hewn and familiar, ruminative world, alive with change and discovery. These are shoreline poems, gazing out into a reflective, reluctant sea.
