"This book of poetry engages the earth and addresses mortality as well as the consequences of global warming-how it impacts humans, animals, and the plant life that sustains us all. Poems here accent the lateness of our attempt to control pollution, while interrogating the natural world through myth and the voicings of different creatures, beings displaced or relegated to other spaces, including apes, birds, and an arcade bear that reflects: "I once thought that was freedom- / but how in a receding wilderness no longer mine?" Sighting those areas where metropolis and wilderness collide, Irwin conveys the tension between the natural and digital world as a speaker laments: "I am so lonely for a river's one rushing / minute with scuttling crayfish, nymphs, and eddies blurring clouds, not its / imagined thousand pixels changing colors toward forms / on a screen." These poems remind us how forms of the spirit cannot be bound by technology and capitalism, imploring "how to become explorers, cartographers / again.""--
