Small Events - David Mecklenburg - Bog

In this companion to The Nightingale's Stone, Ada Ludenow explores the power of relationships to make and unmake us by using language itself as a fundamental binding force to use or misuse for gain or at our own peril. What emerges is one woman's portrait of the world as an ambivalent, often hostile place, made livable by our ability to perceive the small events of beauty that overcome us in unexpected ways.

With color illustrations of each poem, Small Events offers timeless meditations on how we make meaning of love, hatred, memory, and being human. Readers of The Nightingale's Stone will find a further expansion of that work's themes and new readers will find a philosophically poetic voice inviting them to enter the plural reality of the Hagengard.
