Inner Verses

From the author of To Give it Up (Sun and Moon Press) which was selected by Barbara Guest for the National Poetry Series, comes Pam Rehm's Inner Verses , a book of deep gravitas that belies its slim, portable volume.  Comprising lyric poems that are attentive to "the underneath mind / growing more and more / quieted," Inner Verses is a collection that understands the ways in which time is mutable and brief. Here, we experience a genuine devotion for both birdsong and breath, and the intimacies of thought connecting the two. In this way and with exacting tenderness, Pam Rehm creates poems that relish solitude and yet are generous enough to carry us as company.
