The Color of Shadows

A collection of 69 poems, this is Carol Townsend's second published book of poetry (after her chapbook, A Cinder in My Knee, published in 2016 by Buffalo Arts Publishing).

Just as the color temperature of shadows changes according to latitude, time of day or year, so too the poems of Townsend's second full-length collection mirror life's experiences. She invites us to share these ephemeral traces--quirky, sexy, tragic and darkly humorous in turn, which are often filtered through the lens of nature.
