s n o w m e l t t o r o o t s | MORNING MIDDAY EVENING LOVE SONGS an initial offering of one hundred poems from singer-songwriter, Zach Winters, written over a span from autumn to spring. like his music, there are themes of love, longing and spirituality, but the poetry is rooted more firmly in the tangible—a hike to Tamolitch Pool, family rituals, beauty in the simple and in the profound, afternoon Earl Grey, prayers, marriage with its kisses and dishes, and a light peppering of criticisms that cut both ways. Snowmelt to Roots is common and vulnerable, but always invitational, with an eye upstream. 2nd printing revised spring 2024
