The Urn by Karla Linn Merrifield

$14.00

 

In The Urn, Merrifield skillfully approaches the realm of nature poetry, elevating the dialogue between the natural world and human nature to a whole new level of interaction. Merrifield has never fallen into any clichéd definition of “nature poet,” but her execution in this collection is nearly flawless as she weaves the many shades of nature into her beautifully written tribute.
