The Measure by Jo Pitkin

$14.00

 

Jo Pitkin’s The Measure is itself a measure of lyricism and restraint. Themes of wind and branch and leaf and love inhabit these landscapes and heartscapes — and the earth that lives in these poems seems to offer someone, anyone, genuine points of identification and reassurance. The imagination knows this “pyramidal hierarchy” — Jo Pitkin’s poetry offers a constantly inviting window.
