'In these sweet, fresh, fragile poems, Jensen demonstrates courage and skill at the arts of poetry and of love, and makes the sly suggestion that the one might be a metaphor for the other.' – The Weekend Australian on I said the sea was folded

A sequel to Erik Jensen's first collection of memoir poems, A lick of fireweed takes a spare and unflinching look at love and landscape. These poems are the diary of a relationship ending and the story of how small details can make the world beautiful and whole.
