The Root Endures begins with a rooster's crowing exultation, ventures through expeditions on foot and secondary expeditions to the quiet of personal discovery, and concludes with poems of the persistence of character that began in childhood. With narratives and lyrics of self-discovery and ecstatic intimacy, of love, loss, and public mourning, The Root Endures invites the reader on expeditions where motion tends toward stillness, and stillness toward a deepening.
