The 24 poems of Kathryn T. S. Bass' Bright Seeds guide the reader through a series of unlikely "gardens." Using sparse language and judicious white space, each poem seeks to create a small world—a contained, vivid environment that sparks the senses and the imagination. Through evocative imagery and precise musciality, poems such as "Garden of Demons," "Garden of Convalescence," "Garden of Algebra," and "Garden of Skirts" invite readers to enter and inhabit these imagined spaces. This collection was selected for the Finishing Line Press New Women’s Voices Series.
