Description
Summary:The poems in this book delineate a passage through grief and change. Here, personal loss is continuous with threats to other species and landscapes. In response, the poet has uprooted the terrain of language, "what / bestows itself from / the almost-invisible / and its stain." If these uprootings are casualties of a poetics seeking to redress imbalance and "pollution," then they are also opportunities to rethink what can exist in the field of poetic language as "roots also quicken, bruise their plural pronouns, lose tune, / forsake terrain by moving through and on it."
