Not the Ocean, But the Ocean, by Janet E. Salsman

Poetry, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

The microcosm is the macrocosm and vice versa in a fractal system. What happens in nature percolates into our relationships and every interaction is an evolution. Atoms in the early universe impact the nuclear family. Daily acts of service change the world.

These poems, inspired by (living) water, trickle, rush, and roar through language, working to create meaning and hope.

Janet Salsman has been published in Stick Figure Poetry and also had a poem as the San Francisco Library Poem of the Day during the pandemic. She has a degree in English from the University of California at Berkeley.
