Title: Mortar & Pestle
Description: "This book of poetry by Lisa Gill is a response to a diagnosis of a serious disease, which she is battling courageously, clinically as well as through these superb lyrical meditations. In her case the disease is multiple sclerosis, but it could be almost any other because the sweep of the poetry is so broad. The language is clear, evocative ... This work is humble and magisterial, witty and wise. The guide here is nature, getting to the herbs of healing, against the body's dismantling. Brilliant imagery in a thoroughly brilliant book."--Publisher's website.
