A Writer's Garden

If there is anywhere on earth where metaphor flourishes and parables abound, it is in the garden.

For Pochocki the garden is a parallel world, a stage upon which the drama of life is played out.

Here we dig for ethical solutions; we try to do no harm, accept defeat with grace and triumph with modesty--and, always, as Emily Dickinson puts it, we "dwell in possibility." Pochocki presents us with a warmly human, charmingly wise collection of essays, stories and poems.
