Overview

Margaret Lee's fourth chapbook explores depths of a mother's love amid tragedy and loss. Orange Persephone invokes the mythical story of mother and daughter, Demeter and Persephone. Demeter, Greek goddess of fertility and harvest, periodically loses her daughter, Persephone, to Hades, god of the underworld, who holds Persephone hostage there. The poems in Orange Persephone cry out in pain, burrow into grief, seek solace in a nurturing earth, and range the unlimited scope of a mother's love for her offspring.
