Crane

Through interweaving prose and verse, Crane resurrects two figures from myth: Cardea, goddess of hinges, and Echo, the nymph transformed into reflective sound. Moving between intimate narratives and meditations on language and desire, these poems explore thresholds of all kinds—between speech and silence, presence and absence, meaning and its dissolution. Crane is both elegy and revelation, examining how we navigate spaces of loss and transformation in a precarious world.

“Each word, each name in Crane strikes a balance between the art of divination and the heresy of uncertainty. Moving in mid-air, suspending names across shadow wires thrown open to light, the poet steps out into thin air with poise and precision, discovering in the resonance of allusive echoes a singular shimmering radiance."
