If water breathes - Paperback

by Monika Hope Lee (Author)

If water breathes follows a spiritual seeker through and across Buddhist, Hindu, Greco-Roman, Muslim, Judaic, astrophysical, and Christian cosmologies. In these poems, each moment is ripe with the future it heralds, and the poet lives as witness to the movement of time through love, loss, and longing. Desire remembers, constellates today, and foreshadows tomorrow, while both nature and the word gesture toward a salutary beyond.
