Comprised of two distinct sequences, As Wind Rounds Sandstone, As Ice Sections Schist first presents flash biographies of lives devoted to—and sometimes given for—peace. These portraits, grounded in historical fact, coruscate with a counterfactual element that allows poetic justice to reimagine the past. The second sequence meditates on the works of women who, believing truth ultimate, devoted their lives and words to matters of the spirit. In a time of perpetual war and post-truth discourse, this book is testimony to the inextinguishable possibilities of freedom and beauty in the imperfect world we share.
