About the Book

This collection, Morton’s tenth, is a bold book of poetry delving into risks. It’s the moving forward; the constant discovery of new things. Using a combination of quotes, mythological images, and exquisite metaphors from nature, Morton delivers poems that describe the absolute urgency of giving one’s heart over to life, the burning drive to have faith in the world, the insistence that everything, in its own way, is holy. This book is unfettered joy.

Review :
"Of Karla K. Morton: Her work often sparkles, at turns clever, amusing, sensual and sad, but always deeply perceptive of human nature, of the webs that bind us and keep us apart. Accessible and imagery-rich, Morton's poems have an appreciable emotional heft." - David Bowles author of Flower, Song, Dance: Aztec and Maya Poetry. "The poems in Karla K. Morton's Constant State of Leaping address the big, old subjects: the deaths of loved one, the poignant intricacies of family life, the complex beauty of nature. Here, a fight with a teenage daughter becomes an opportunity for meditation on passion and the cycle of generations. Or an encounter with an old lover at his mother's funeral inspires a poem on memory and the irretrievability of the past. Or, the most moving of all, a description of a lover as "the perfect evening / arms outstretched to balance / the tumbling sun one hand, / the cool moon in the other." These poems are thoughtful, witty, and deeply graceful." - Kevin Prufer author of National Anthem and In a Beautiful Country
