About the Book

Poetry. Lucyna Prostko's fierce, quiet book shines like the wooden boat in Homecoming that beckons the winds with all its power. Prostko makes poetic speech feel somehow inevitable, yet unexpected and fresh; there is nothing self-conscious, no straining for high art, in her mastery. The human stories in her poems haunt me. . . . Clear-eyed and steadfast in her honesty, Prostko doesn't pretend to easy understanding of the mystery she touches at the deep heart of our being, but her love for the world is palpable in every poem--Joan Larkin, Judge, Bright Hill Poetry Book Competition.
