Janus by Esther Lim Palmer

$14.99

 

Janus, the debut poetry collection from emerging Bay Area writer Esther Lim Palmer, is an evocative exploration into the ever-evolving, and often incongruous, realms of daughterhood, marriage, and motherhood.

 

Like the ancient god of beginnings and endings, Esther Lim Palmer’s poetry looks to the past and the future in her beautiful debut collection Janus. Exploring the themes of childhood, family, and marriage, Palmer’s poems are an honest look at one modern woman’s pathway to self-discovery, growth, and acceptance: “Here, now./ Hear, now,/ a swarm of hope—/ a rising hum.”
