    About this ebook

    At Her Wooden Desk is a stark collection of poems set in a Japanese garden at the hands of an artist who begins to question her boundaries through the creative act of gardening. These dreamlike poems tell us what we need to hear most about art and our relationship to it and this collection is perfect for the gardener, nature lover, or burgeoning artist. You can find yourself in here: urged into an imaginative wilderness.
