Sur

Poetry that explores wildness and composes a landscape of complex human emotions.   Drawing on a range of stylistic influences, the poetry of Sur takes on the essence of connection and the ways in which we continually develop meaning  about others and to the natural world. With this collection, David Koehn paints a landscape where wilderness intertwines with human emotions and grows between ill-fitting interpersonal connections. Sur invites readers to step back and look critically at their world while remaining intimately intertwined with it. Throughout, imagery of nature—like a snake drinking from a stream, or a mountain god—blends with the emotional landscape of tumultuous relationships, exploring themes of wildness and an inevitable unraveling of secrets.
