Mouth Quill's twenty-one poems narrate an intimate journey of universal themes-of ancestors, displacement, migration, longing, and connection.
Drawn from the author's childhood familiarity with ancient poems of her heritage, the collection's title, mouth quill, is inspired by Finno-Ugric runic verse and refers to the singer's magical tool.
The work unearths many such poetic concepts, creating organic metaphoric connections from the distant past to present; occasionally, the reade.
