“I am often asked, then, why the sea? In St Andrews, I have seen every manner of light cleave the water-surface into shards of sea, ‘as if it were […] glass cut into ten thousand varieties’ yet subsisting an ‘undivided Unity’ of origin. I want for my poetry, in its many iterations–audible, visual, textual–to do the same.”
-Gabriela Michele Milkova, Author’s Preface.
