Carol Parris Krauss's Mountain. Memory. Marsh. lyrically explores the complexities of life and relationships. Woven throughout is evocative imagery of the Mid-Atlantic landscape, but this collection transcends location. Overarching themes of memory, loss, transience, and our inextricable connections to the natural world permeate the poems. In poem after poem, Krauss navigates the emotional terrain of the human experience with empathy, wisdom, and a painter's eye for details.

Each poem in this collection feels created by seven lucky cameras pointing everywhere interesting. Anybody who lives in the Mid-Atlantic knows it presents itself like the point nomads from south to north could no longer walk (besides the weather had cooled enough) or nomads from north to south could no longer walk (besides it had not snowed more than two hours). Either way, those travelers planning to keep going decided to rest here and live forever.

I was completely captivated from the start by Carol Parris Krauss's new collection Mountain. Memory. Marsh. which explores relationships with loved ones and memories but so much more. A reader will find this emotive collection both a story that had to be told and a call to pay keen attention to one's own.
