Book of the Week: a net of sunlight
Kirsty Karkow writes evocatively of her adopted home in Maine, but so tellingly that people from anywhere might identify with them. This volume, self-published in 2002, can be appreciated anywhere there is field and stream, sea and sunlight.
You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.

honeymoon we wade into the current of a great rivergnarled oak my journey to the hills starts in mistempty shelf dusty outlines of books my parents readgale force wind the shriek of gulls flying in placewinter stars— a wild goose tucks its head under a winganchored a net of sunlight in the shallows
