The Water Table


Description

A powerful and ambiguous body of water lies at the heart of these poems, with shoals and channels that change with the forty-foot tide.

And so she is taken in her sister's place, and she believes death will soon follow.

She sees everything as if for the last time.But the first sun rises and sets, and The Water Table download epub she is not dead. Night after night, Lo-Melkhiin comes to her and listens to the stories she tells, and day after day she is awoken by the sunrise.
