Sonja Ringo’s second collection of poetry explores the complexities of this wild and strange existence. mortal atlas navigates the intricacies of what it is to be human — from the ecstasy of childlike wonder and love with its many faces, into adulthood and the harrowing grief of losing a dear parent, ultimately landing in a place where universal truths and mysteries intermingle.
A personal and introspective work woven of both darkness and light, mortal atlas centers around themes of transcendentalism and creativity, fleeing to the woods in the wake of devastating loss, growing older wildly, rebellion and mental health in an uncertain society, and the transience of being alive.
Ringo returns with a familiar yet newfound voice, whispering and roaring with the resilience of a wide-open heart that met with the depths of mourning, and found its way back out through poetry.
