Belt of Pearls

<p>Belt of Pearls is a collection of poems concerned with the idea of home in both places and in</p> <p>people. The speaker wrestles with dissatisfaction with home as a place of origin. The ties of</p> <p>family, familiar landmarks, and old relationships are outgrown; the feeling of belonging becomes</p> <p>associated with a lover instead. The poems attempt to locate relationships in geographical scenes</p> <p>largely through the language of weather and flora. Images of light and the way it strikes a scene</p> <p>are particularly important. Influences of the collection include Robert Hass, Tracy K. Smith, and</p> <p>Deborah Landau.</p>
