Everything Needs Tending

The new book of poetry and art from Marienne Kreitlow and Susan Davies.

Inexorably rooted in her Minnesota farm origins and seasoned by her sojourns on each American coast, Mariénne Kreitlow delivers creations that delight in being spoken and danced as well as read. With chapter headings such as Family, Fae, and Fables, and titles like “Talking to Potatoes,” “Abominable Snowman’s Wife,” and “Dancing Marrow,” the reader accesses their own inner and outer riches. That the poet is also a songwriter, playwright, as well as an experienced performer, will come as no surprise as you traverse Kreitlow’s quirky and sacred landscapes in which everything is tended.

Artist Susan Davies provides visual energy signatures throughout.
