This is the second volume of a trilogy (the first was "The Plum Flower Dance") in which Weaver analyzes his life, striving to become the ideal poet. In "The Government of Nature, " Afaa Michael Weaver explores the trauma of his childhood--including sexual abuse--using a "cartography and thematic structure drawn from Chinese spiritualism." Weaver is a practitioner of Daoism, and this collection deals directly with the abuse in the context of Daoist renderings of nature as metaphor for the human body.
