“Anyone who writes is a seeker. You look at a blank page and you’re seeking. The role is assigned to us and never removed. I think this is an unbelievable blessing. I mean, to be seventy-eight years old and still looking—this amazes me.” —Louise Glück buff.ly/47LSE9u

Just come down from the 'whiskey savage mountain' and the 'burnt horizons' of Regine Ebner's poetry manuscript. I needed sunglasses with this blindingly bright collection, so will you! 😎🏜️ All being well, this will be our next book on the Bough Regine Ebner!

On World Poetry Day I’m reading Regine Ebner’s beautiful new collection, which truly captures the splendour of the desert and arrests the senses in aromas of nutmeg, lavender, and saffron. Each poem takes you on a soulful, shamanic journey, and I love it! 💜
