The Long Cold Green Evenings of Spring

Elisabeth Harvor

Both pastoral and medical elements play with themes of great emotional intensity in these innovative poems about infatuation, pottery-making, resentment, memory loss, illness, jealousy, and love. At long last a second poetry collection to follow the success of Fortress of Chairs.
