The Wonder Is, New and Selected Poems 1974-2012

Jan Seale's poetry is both beautifully witty and serious, often ingeniously weaving contemporary life with the mythical, the eternal with the transient, joy with an awareness of loss. These poems are documentations honoring the earth and family in memory and moment. Each poem at the heart is of the heart, its attachments and joys, its griefs and serenities.
