Opis

Mutability - a sense that all matter is unstable in the face of mortality - is at the heart of this new collection and each poem is involved in that drama: the held tension that is embodied life, and life's losing struggle with the gravity of nature. This title shows how it's thought: fresh, fluid and propulsive, but also fragmentary, repetitive.
