| 520 | |a In poems of metamorphosis and birth, death and dissolution, the writer's debut collection returns us to a world unshorn of wildness. Delivering accident and hunger, love and grief, nature in these poems is beautiful and brutal, "a hellish magnificence" that both invites and denies the meanings we project onto it. Refusing the domesticated comfort of our usual myths, the poet reminds us of our place as creatures among others in a world where "what isn't dead / is dying," and where the thrill of predatory flight commingles with the desperation of the prey. Our sole task, these poems insist, is to look on while we can, and to love harder. | ||
