The memory box

by Judith Harway

OUT OF PRINT

Alphabets abound for the literate eye, and Judith Harway’s poems trace loving fingers over the planet’s Braille. With subjects involving perception, relationships, and the natural world, this work negotiates between the relative coherence of human meaning (poetry, prayer, song) and the wild meanings of a universe that may be conscious beyond our comprehension.

Proceeds from sales of The Memory Box support the Sojourner Family Peace Center.
