Pure Lizard

In this new collection of poetry that juxtaposes images such as organic sunflowers in Pennsylvania with sunflowers grown out of the toxic soil of Chernobyl, transformation and the natural world are central themes. Poemsthat respond to the work of composers Telemann, Bob Zieff, and Philip Glass are included, as is a poetic correspondence with the Welsh writer Gillian Clarke on the writer's sense ofhome and place."
