Coming Soon: Leave Me a Little Want, by Beverly Burch
Praise for Leave Me a Little Want
Beverly Burch’s beautiful book is full of deeply sensory and shape-shifting sonnets. Each line is full of the world’s heft, its hustled minutes, and its urgent joys. In imperatives and questions, riddles and rumors, and unholy green born again in mud, Burch shakes us awake with each line. Every day and every heartbeat is full of beauty and meaning here, and we are lucky enough to see the seasons through Burch’s thoughtful and rapturous attention.
—Traci Brimhall, Come the Slumberless to the Land of Nod
