Lost August: Poems

by Esta Spalding

In Lost August, Esta Spalding builds an exquisite poetic honeycomb, bursting with rich imagery and lyrical texture. Each poem is a passage to the next; each reverberates with images and echoes of the others; each moves to the dazzling final sequence, "A Yellow Dress." Here is a lush world, freighted with loss, where the reader "rides into absence, province of the heart."
