Springing

Exploring themes of growth and self-discovery, this collection features new poems alongside selections from Ponsot's earlier works and previously unpublished pieces spanning 1946 to 1971. The poet reflects on her journey with a blend of sharp self-awareness and a celebration of life's pleasures, capturing both grief and joy. Her language remains vibrant and evolving, inviting readers into a "lost haven" that contrasts with the chaos of the world. Ponsot’s enduring inquiry into identity continues to resonate throughout her five-decade career.
