Animal Psalm: Poems

In this collection, love reveals itself at the thresholds of forests, at the frayed edges of language and heritage, reminding readers that the backbone of love is the assurance of the senses-current of creek, texture of quartz, flavors of late summer-the ever-presence of the natural world. In their exploration of the complexity of familial and romantic bonds and cultural identity, these poems reveal the significance of myth in articulating loss and longing.
