Summary:
"The mana of salt is a beautifully executed chapbook with language that's gripping and evocative. In many ways, the collection works as both a catalog of family history and research of chemistry. The passion around family and tradition is palatable and resonates throughout like an ancient song. Poems like "Make a meal" and "Invocation" are striking and call attention to generational food traditions along with the pain and complexity behind it. I was particularly intrigued and invested in that exploration and I found myself thirsting for more. Mana of salt deserves all the praise"--Publisher's website.
