Synopsis

In Medicine Cache Under Lichen, author Bill Prindle chronicles his journey to fine wholeness and grace in a broken world, and invites the reader to deepen their own quest for healing and meaning in a time of unraveling. Reading this book can be a form of soul retrieval, in a time when we have donated our dopamine to our phones and lost our center in the din of our consumer culture. This book engages the natural and human worlds in a spiral dance of mutual yearning, in which there is a place "to change your dread/to compassion", and which holds hope enough to "bring that fluttering spirit back to life." The book explores trails in which it is not too late "to find/the path of restoration/together before nightfall." It delves into the complexities of these two worlds, from the lichen's symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae to new ways of connecting the two worlds: "If this earth is my hospice nurse/ then as I breathe, I will be hers." The poems embrace the delight and the mystery of language, through encounters with bison and moss, loons and larvae, moving among them in search of the place "where a song once gave rise to a river." It envisions a destination that resembles a "place of reunion that was prepared for me all these years."
