Aquifer by Ellen Sander
Poetry
35 pages
8.5” x 5.5” single signature with hand sewn binding
Published January 2022
Ellen Sander’s Aquifer is a collection that ferries the reader through images of the solid and familiar, and transmits us through a luminous place of in-between that asks the reader to reimagine their own view of the world.
“These poems are libations really, offerings, blessings. The book is especially attuned to time, which gives a delicate, restrained sense of every poem being a kind of elegy.”
—Claire Milliken, poet
From Painting by the Sea
In some paintings there is a boat
as if to say there is always
some way to another
sadness, better sorrows, different regrets
The boat leaves at sunset
and we could be on it
