Example publication
Averno
Louise Gluck
Averno, a crater lake in southern Italy, was for the Romans the entrance to the underworld, both gateway and impassable barrier between the living and the dead.
These are serious, clear poems that cut through to the central drama of everyone's life and ask the reader to consider their part in it. |
