Turned Earth: Poems

By Brad Richard

Turned Earth, the fifth collection of poems by Brad Richard, offers a portrait of the artist as a grieving son who is also a husband, teacher, gardener, and attentive witness to our precarious world. Navigating life after his mother's death, the speaker uses memory and imagination to understand, as one poem's title declares, "How I Came to This." Tender and trenchant, elegiac yet often livened by humor, Richard's poems affirm the sustaining power of hope and love.
