Description
Poetry. "James Cushing's SOLACE is aptly named. However, this is not a quiet book. There is comfort here, but there is also everything that compels us to seek it out. In this astonishing collection, Cushing has upped his game; his instincts for emotional capacity, his humor and invention, are in top form. All the territories of the heart are explored here..."—Brendan Constantine
