Ponds

In “Ponds”, Jane Clark Scharl explores the mysterious relationship between change and repetition: seemingly contradictory, these two weave together so tightly in human existence that they cannot be separated. Speaking in a variety of voices-from a young mother mourning her own mother to Penelope, wife of Ulysses, Persephone, and Theoderic the Ostrogoth-“Ponds” is a polyphonous meditation on loss and gain, activity and stillness, and the nature of God, both hidden and revealed.
