Publisher Description: The poems in this collection bear witness with the crisp attention of a Robert Capa photograph. These ecosystems, each with their own by-laws ... hold together such a curious, nearly impossible balance in his new book. - David Keplinger, author of Another City (Milkweed Editions, 2018) |
