Publisher's Synopsis
Steeped in the images of New England, this first poetry volume from poet Peter Morton brings to the table a trove of previously unshared work scratched on napkins and the back of envelopes. Centered on seasonal motifs, each "handful" takes the reader deeply into the unique and beautiful solitude of the New England Landscape. Following in the steps of the imagists the poet brings each poem to the page with intent, drawing the reader into both the feeling and the scene he sets.
