Heart Turned Back

Meer over het boek

Heart Turned Back is about looking and listening; about trying to understand not just humans, but animals and plants and rocks. The poems come from a slow and painstaking education in the things of the world, from learning that we have only a limited time to comprehend, then translate and transform that comprehension into words. The poems love language; they are passionate yet restrained, written in both form and in free verse. Bertha Rogers's poems appear in journals and anthologies and in her four previous collections. She lives in Delhi, New York.
