Poems that meditate on light and darkness in the natural world. In The Vine Temple, Kathleen Driskell invites readers to walk with her through past landscapes, including a Confederate cemetery near her turbulent childhood home and more recent hikes in a nearby park, where the sacred and sublime reveal themselves in the natural world. Driskell’s poems examine the transmutability of human language and its ability to liberate and exhilarate, while at the same time often encouraging terrible darkness.
