Beschreibung

Infused with love, pathos, history and ideas, A Break in the Journey, Anne Haverty's new collection, is a moving exploration of the many kinds of journeys on which life takes us. Haverty has travelled great distances in intellectual curiosity as well as in the world and traces her tracks with superb eloquence, simplicity and a piercing humanity. With skill, grace and a masterful lightness of touch, these poems shimmer and float in the imagination long after the final page.
