Elemental, by Kortney Garrison

Poetry, chapbook, 28 pages, from Bottlecap Features. The poems of Elemental take their place in the circle of the year: seasons, moons, the human rhythms of waking and sleep. These poems exist where silence becomes song. There are few abstractions here. Rather the poems are rooted in the natural world. The precise images point us toward what is real. These poems come out of the imagist and haiku traditions where small moments hold the potential for revelation. Kortney Garrison lives on a peninsula in the Northwest where she homeschools her three children. Her poems have appeared in Hummingbird, Creative Countryside, and The Solitary Plover.
