burlap & birch
ETHAN HECKRODT
With masterful lines, heckrodt packs and unpacks these poetic coming-of-age moments with the push and pull of leaving and coming back home. burlap & birch is full of longing and love. It is a search for identity and place. “this poem is printed on/the paperbacks between/tree rings.” Beautiful. Poignant. Profound.
