In this chapbook of fourteen new poems and one revised one, Carol Hill Marks writes about a 17th century wandering poet, the challenges of watercolor painting, and medieval pork production. She thinks the best poems should give the reader a certain feeling, and shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
In Old Stonehouse, Marks dreams along with us to describe the adventures of real and completely made up people, as well as the clarity in the commonplaces of grief and joy.
