| Sumario: | "This meditation," writes the poet, "is about appearing without motes between us: / it is practice for presenting oneself to God." This debut collection records a deeply moving attempt to restore poetry to the possibilities of redemptive action. The physical and emotional landscapes of these poems, rendered with clear-eyed precision, are beyond the reaches of protection and consolation: tundra, frozen sea, barren woodlands, skies littered with satellite trash, fields marked by abandoned, makeshift shrines, sick rooms, vacant reaches that provide "nodes / in every direction // for sensing // the second coming." |
