The poems are unsparing but tender, candid but sly, and open to the force of nature on an individual human life.from “Wildfire”We want this.The end to sleeping, the bittersweetarousal, the peeling back, the soft bathin resin, the release. It can’t come quickenough, the hot touch that breaks the crustand lets us go. Hear it now: a crackling,as the woods begin to sing alongside the birds.
