| Sumario: | "In "Wild Juice," Louisiana poet Ashley Mace Havird gives readers an exploration of change, ranging from the extinction of a pre-human species to the present-day diminishment of sea life due to the climate crisis, and, closer to home, the death of the poet's father and her own aging. Running throughout these lyrics of loss is the richness of communal life, a current of hope, given substance by the juice of wild grapes that baptizes the poet's chin and that of her elderly, declining father, a figure whose presence haunts the book. Havird's poems move from sea coasts to the rural South to landlocked suburbia, speaking with wit, pluck, and ironic candor. Through striking evocations of the natural world, conveyed with a voice steeped in mature human experience, "Wild Juice" speaks memorably on behalf of a life which embraces us all"-- |
