Sanderlings
"'. . . the voice that within dirt / took root became the many-tendriled sound' is the Roethke-like 'germinal' pulse that characterizes Geri Doran's distinctive second collection,Sanderlings. The marriage of this elemental voice with an elegant formal intelligence and a quiet, insistent, and probing imagination makes these poems truly remarkable additions to contemporary American poetry." --Michael Collier"What I love aboutSanderlings, besides the ripening imagery, is the variety of expression. The poems don't fix on a single way to regard our sense of living. There's a powerful willingness to look into the natural diversity of thought and feeling, and Geri Doran's language is willowy and very fine." --Carol Frost--Advance Praise
