Soul Mouth
$19.95
Bowering’s writing is enough to renew one’s faith in the simple strength and beauty of well-crafted poems, or even that such writing still exists. In Soul Mouth, Marilyn Bowering’s first collection in five years, the poet explores the story of childhood and mythology and the development of observation, sexuality and spirituality through their connections not only to personal history but to the animal world and the environment.
“[Bowering] converses with the reader like a brave acquaintance.” —Monday Magazine
