Grain of Mustard Seed

May Sarton presents a collection of socially charged yet universal poemsOne of the many gems of this volume is "e;The Invocation to Kali,"e; which explores a dark and destructive femininity. Sarton writes of "e;Crude power that forges a balance / Between hate and love,"e; finding an amalgam of dark and light within a single act. This graceful and nuanced work forges powerful connections between timeless ideas and specific moments in history.
