In “Lapis”, poet Kerri Webster writes into the vast space left by the deaths of three women: her mother, a mentor, and a friend. Using a wide array of lyric forms and meditations, Webster explores matrilineages both familial and poetic, weaving together death, spirituality, women, and a sense of the shifting earth into one "doctrine of Non-linear Revelation."
"The visionary poetics of Lapis upend the notion of a shared, secular consensus, revealing death's capacity to transfigure; to render 'God-struck.' Like the sacred manuscripts labored-over by medieval nuns, Webster's language is richly illuminated."
