The printer states: "My Partial Tongue by poet Martha Ronk uses phrases from an essay on gardens and plants by Sir Thomas Brown a 17th-century essayist who wrote about the order in nature. The poems have a great deal of space in them space suggestive of what is missing and of silence and reflect a feeling of distances from the natural world that seems to be disappearing… I created photographs of plants and feathers that reflect the content of the poems. The images were digitally manipulated and separated then printed in tight registration on Rives BFK."</p> Pie in the Sky Press, hardcover
