"Here, I search for agates' ocher transparency / glittering among broken shells / and pewter pebbles, / when I walk wind-blasted red rocks home" the speaker of the poems in Saltwater Soul lives in the liminal space between homes, between a beloved watery Pacific coast and an abrasive dry Great Basin west.
