The Vine Temple
Poems that meditate on light and darkness in the natural world.
In The Vine Temple , Kathleen Driskell invites readers to walk with her through past landscapes, including a Confederate cemetery near her turbulent childhood home and more recent hikes in a nearby park, where the sacred and sublime reveal themselves in the natural world. Driskell’s poems examine the transmutability of human language and its ability to liberate and exhilarate, while at the same time often encouraging terrible darkness.

This excellently crafted chapbook wastes nothing. Readers familiar with Driskell's past works like Next Door to the Dead and Laughing Sickness will recognize some characteristics of her craft - but those characteristics will be spun in new and effective ways.

Pretty okay book. The last poem is the best one by far. The other ones aren’t so great but also not very bad either.
