Carlson describes an interior world where tears can produce 'so much salt a body floats away', where 'music turned to loss descends with rain', and where hop is placed in the 'kill cure '. Filled with striking images and sensuous language, An Infusion of Violets is an evocative mix of formal and free-verse poems.| Item type | Home library | Call number | Materials specified | Status | Date due | Barcode |
