At the Foot of the Mountain

By TAK Erzinger

At the Foot of the Mountain transports the reader through the countryside, challenging the boundaries between nature, man, and cultural identity. ? The poems are comprised of careful observations made from the natural world and expose the struggles of the dark underbelly of depression. ? This collection illustrates how the universal vitality of nature, which is both flexible and accommodating, offers the possibilities of hope, healing, and recovery to anyone willing to step outside into the wilderness, embracing its boundless bounty and delights.

In At the Foot of the Mountain, TAK Erzinger creates a poetic landscape of delightful solitude. Nature becomes much more than a mere surrounding or backdrop in Erzinger's poems; it is a companion, a remedy, a living, breathing part of the poet's being. Erzinger's brave poetic voice seeks strength in fragility and wholeness in the fragmented, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the delicately moving truth of her poetry. -Andriana Minou, Poet, writer and Judge, Eyeland Book Awards

At the Foot of the Mountain sees TAK Erzinger evolving further as a master of style and sentiment. ? There is a vividness, depth, and accessibility to these poems that make them easily digestible yet profoundly enduring. Whether literal ormetaphorical, personal or universal, Erzinger's work will resonate with every reader. -Jordan Blum, Founder, Editor-in-Chief, The Bookends Review
