Skunk cabbage: poems of renewal

Swinn, Martha, (author.). McCloskey, Jesse, (author.). Huston, Baxter, (author.). Kerby, Norma, (author.). Fedderson, Harold, (author.). Conway, Joan, (author.). Adair, Solveig, (author.).

Summary: "Enter Skunk Cabbage, the first flowering plant to appear after a long winter. There are those types which have an inner heat regulator, giving it the ability to melt snow. Like Skunk Cabbage, poetry dissolves the tough outer shells of our own protective layers, creating space for imaginal realms. Luxuriant leaves reminiscent of the tropics offer material that takes us to heady places. Yellow flowers illuminate the deep shade of isolation. We, the poets, become lanterns in the dark."-- from the Preface.
