The Ordering of Stars - Paperback

by Kersten Christianson (Author), Hayley Haugen (Editor)

In The Ordering of Stars, Christianson's often lyrical poems wander like scavengers of wonder, mapping the heart through seasons of absence and wistful light. A heron's winged lift, the sudden flash of kingfisher blue, salmonberries ripening at the edge of warmth--these images open into poems of birds and shelter, galaxy and ocean, heart grit and season drift. Eclectic and luminous, the collection invites readers to follow where language leads and glimpse the good fortune hidden in the shimmer of the natural world.
