An Axe for the Frozen Sea: Conversations with Poets about What Matters

Discover the wisdom and wonder of poetry through candid conversations with some of the most powerful poets of the 21st century.

In this remarkable collection, Ben Palpant, author of Letters from The Mountain, invites readers into intimate, one-on-one interviews with seventeen acclaimed poets. These conversations explore: • The human experience: Grief, hope, culture, and the imagination. • The writing life: Insights into the craft of poetry and the challenges of creativity. • Everyday joys and struggles: Reflections on family life, faith, and the power of words.

As Franz Kafka once said, "A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us." The thoughts and words in this collection aim to awaken what has grown silent within us, reminding us that poetry is an essential expression of what it means to be human.

This book offers wisdom to inspire, instruct, and strengthen readers--proving that words matter, poetry matters, and you matter.
