Sower on the Cliffs Helen Mirkil

"Where is the singing /when twisted thoughts /flood the soul...?" Helen Mirkil asks in these lyrical poems that celebrate her faith in God and fascination with the sweetness of quotidian life. She questions the mystery, serves as witness, observes details as a mother and a lover, and she tells stories. The poems are paired with ten evocative drawings, that enrich rather than illustrate her vision. Sower on the Cliffs collects the words and images of a striving soul, a poet pilgrim, a remarkable artist.
