A Language We Once Knew

A Language We Once Knew is James Liter's first collection of poetry. Provoked by countless natural, cultural, and spiritual motifs, the poems in this volume hope to inspire the rediscovery of the "language" that is a part of being fully human - a language we once knew. Our relationship with the soul and with nature is often lost in the rush of everyday life; sometimes so deeply that it seems we have completely forgotten what it means to be fully human. The sometimes surreal works in this volume take us to the edge of our selves; through storms that we fear will destroy us, but which ultimately lead us back home, changed and more fully alive.
