Swallows and Waves

by Paula Bohince

Book Overview

Equal parts ekphrasis and Rorschach test, Paula Bohince's third collection Swallows and Waves draws from a palette of Japanese scroll paintings and woodblock prints created centuries ago. Looking deeply into images of birds, animals, flowers, mothers, soldiers, and lovers, she returns with poems that risk everything in their transformation, reflecting loneliness and eros, doubt and reassurance.
