Brief Landing on the Earth's Surface

Juanita Brunk

Publication Year: 2012

<DIV><P>In Brief Landing on the Earth&rsquo;s Surface, even the most ordinary moments are infused with an awareness of the lost past and a kind of prescience of the future. From one setting to another&mdash;Tidewater Virginia, rural Pennsylvania, Greece, New York City&mdash;these poems give voice to the human longing for permanence, home, and connection in the face of a constantly changing reality. <BR>&#160;</P></DIV>
