A “quietly astonishing” vision of young Father Christmas
Young Santa speaks in animal tracks and simples of the moon. He gets lost in the land of seeds and snow. He does not know what he does not know.In short poems “worthy of Bashō or Dōgen” (David Mutschlecner), Deany-Braun charts the spiritual development of a man before he was myth.
