Description
In Beauty We Are Made VisibleChristine Morro reads the subtle space between the human and the Earth and exquisitely translates it. What is this space? It is the sole of the foot on moist sand, the touch of morning sky on the eye, the brush of a heron's wingbeat against the ear. "To miss any of this world is the taste of despair, " Morro writes. She misses nothing, and her poems open us up more fully to the mystery of every moment.
-Trebbe Johnson, author of Radical Joy for Hard Times and other books
In Beauty We Are Made Visible is a moving meditation on connection, that "ancient contract of belonging". Its poems shape silence into a space of elemental reflection, reminding us of the multiple points of contact between humans and Earth itself. Through Christine Morro's luminous language, worlds of water, stone and air become intimate, animate, and familiar. Attention becomes an act of loving. "What do we do", she asks, "with these moments / that feel like transmission". This beautiful and compelling collection is her reply. -Julian Hoffman, author of Irreplaceable and The Small Heart of ThingsEXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
