Field folly snow, paperback/cecily parks

The poems in this collection are meditations on the natural world, written from the perspective of what Li-Young Lee has aptly termed a passionate interiority.

The history and geography of the American West inspire many of the poems investigations of the environment and the role of the individual in relation to that environment.

In Cecily Parkss landscape made strange by human consciousness, being lost is a requirement, though not a guarantee, of being found.
