Phyla of Joy - Paperback
by Karen An-Hwei Lee (Author)
"Karen An-hwei Lee's third book is a beautiful and sustained meditation on the impermanence of humanity's essential components: memory, spirituality, emotion, thought....Contemplative and linguistically sophisticated, Phyla of Joy is simply exquisite --'ink and stanza / flow like wind on grass.'" -- Rigoberto Gonz?lez
There's an undeniable audacity in a poet using the word "joy" in our beleaguered world. In her new book, Karen An-hwei Lee combines scientific precision and an appetite for far-flung vocabularies with a fascination for the sources of rapturous emotion. In poems that roam from the intimacy of prayer to the art of brewing tea, from bamboo-related famine to quasars, the globe's minor seas, and the nuptial flight of ants, Phyla of Joy reaches toward ecstasy.At the heart of every product lies a unique story, driven by our passion for quality and innovation.
