Mud and Flower:
Fourteen poems, stripped to their bone. Nothing left to explain. This is not entertainment it's practice work. Nothing is separate from daily life, it arrives in the mud itself. The light the air , the poems, lived in direct evidence.
The temptation to explain was ignored. The poems exist in slices not full loafs. One is left how a poem is started present.
Mud and Flower is direct : no ornament, no flowery spiritual language, no doctrine no prayer. Only what can be tested against direct evidence. Does it lighten you, or does it burden you? Is inner conflict something we see and ignore? These are the only measures that matter.
This collection is sat with quietly in presence.
