Crocus

By Karin Gottshall
Selected by Alberto Ríos

The poems in Crocus take as their starting points the interior universes created by myth, art, and memory, and through the exploration of these terrains create new ways of understanding the ordinary.

British writer Virginia Woolf wrote about the pleasures of having a room of one's own. Here, Vermont poet Karin Gottshall shows us her own sort of private place. —Tracy Press

Crocus is not leadenly preoccupied with things; rather, its desire is to open again and again to the world.
