Keeling tracks Sarah Peecher's memories through churning spaces and documentation-the church, school, a childhood bedroom, fields, and gardens; an etymology, a transcription, and a log of the body. It pins together memories in double vision through a pair of "diplopia" poems and explores memory's disintegration through poems with disappearing words. Along the way, a persona known as the Girl carefully observes a wildfire's destruction. These poems speak to Peecher's hankering for a dismantling of the structures that stifled her in her youth and the simultaneously dizzying reverberations felt from their loss. Through her mother's wisdom and stories, combined with her own resilience, the poet discovers that just because she's keeling, doesn't mean she'll never find solid ground.
