Description

Walking Home gathers together some of the last poems written by Michele Amas. These are poems of tenacity and courage, and of locating oneself in time and in love. 'Teach me how to live I cried' goes a line in the poem 'Walden Pond'. In these sharp-witted, tender, at times heart-wrenching poems, Michele Amas shows us how. -Jenny Bornholdt. With a foreword by Ken Duncum.
