Diana Woodcock

Mandala

Praise

“Diana Woodcock’s poetry circumnavigates the globe as if circling a mandala, from Flagstaf to Lhasa, Cairo to Macau, always keeping faith with the work of a scrupulous witness, moral compass firmly in hand, ‘balancing—always balancing, ready to be erased,’ yet dancing and singing a bridge into being across the airy space.”

—Gregory Donovan, author of Calling His Children Home

“Dedicated to the Tibetans, Diana Woodcock's collection of poems reminds us of the immensity of this world. Addressing both violence and beauty, the collection's compelling and edgy terrain lingers— like the ‘golden specks of sunlight…on timbrel bells’—from her poem ‘Year of Lhasa.’”

—Talvikki Ansel, author of Jetty and My Shining Archipelago
