Weeks in This Country

by Vive Griffith

Weeks in This Country is a collection of poems concerned with place. From Turkey to rural Bohemia to Cape Cod, Griffith uses the rich imagery of her travels to evoke both the exotic and the personal. These are poems of observation and poems of meditation. Ultimately, they speak of the longing for connection―among individuals, between cultures, and across history.

Very nice collection. “My fathers wedding” was incredibly impactful and my favorite poem I’ve read recently. Also loved “late night longings” and “those driftwood months”, absolutely beautiful.
