About This Poem

 

"This poem is part of a manuscript-in-progress in which humans, plants, animals, and spirits encounter each other in or across several places and times. As I was writing this poem, I had angles of vision, positionality, relationality, coincidence, and movement on my mind. I was feeling my way around the difficulties and reverberations of metaphor."
