About Possessions:

"This book boldly sets out to capture the voices and spirits of many of the most fascinating figures in contemporary English and Japanese poetry. Forging these kinds of connections over time and space provide sustenance for the soul, and as readers, we follow Botsford across the divides of time and space, identifying across eras, ethnicity, and nationality."
