Longing: Four poems on diverse matters
by Joanne Arnott
In a richly personal series of poems, Arnott explores the stories that drive her life. From a tale passed down from mother to daughter for generations, to experiences with diabetes and sacred medicines misued for personal gain, this collection is a quilt of narrative that encircles the reader and says, Stay. Listen.
