Drill explores earthly, celestial, and emotional landscapes in this mystical book of poems…. This lyrical poetry collection is rich with evocative imagery and emotional depth. Drill’s descriptions are imaginative and unique, from Birds of Paradise as ‘mouths of wisdom’ to a hummingbird as a ‘lone angel circling.’ Drill turns the tiniest detail—like the ‘blue of unveiled secrets’ of robins’ eggs—into a beautiful and mysterious meditation.
