A Cordiall Water: A Garland of Odd and Old Receipts to Assuage the Ills of Man and Beast

Description

Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher presents a collection that lives up to its elaborate title. The poems are a garland — a gathering of small, potent moments — and the imagery is consistent with the title's texture: odds and old receipts, the quiet work of assuaging. The language is precise, the emotional register steady, and the collection feels both intimate and expansive. For readers who appreciate poetry that doesn't announce itself, this is a rewarding read. The title alone promises something special, and the collection delivers. It's poetry that stays with you, the kind you return to when you need the quiet the poems provide. The EPUB format makes it a portable companion for any device.
