Isthmus

"King encapsulates the qualities of an isthmus, the caught-betweenness of nature, of spirituality, of humanity at its most sparkling and its most vulnerable." --Sarah Etlinger, author of Never One for Promises "Lovely and modern, intimate and an ode to the Midwest." --Sara Dahmen, author of Wine and Children "The relationship between the inner and outer worlds, and how they mirror each other, is captured beautifully in King's poignant poetry." --Amanda McLeod, editor of Animal Heart Press & book reviewer at Wordly Musings Isthmus:
1. a narrow passage connecting two landmasses across an expanse of water
2. an anatomical passage connecting two parts, the cavotricuspid isthmus
