In this fourth book in a series of award-winning survival
narratives, Dungy writes positioned at a fulcrum, bringing a new
life into the world even as her elders are passing on. In a time of
massive environmental degradation, violence and abuse of power, a
world in which we all must survive, these poems resonate within and
beyond the scope of the human realms, delicately balancing between
conflicting loci of attention. Dwelling between vibrancy and its
opposite, Dungy writes in a single poem about a mother, a daughter,
Smokin’ Joe Frazier, brittle stars, giant boulders, and a dead
blue whale. These poems are written in the face of despair to hold
an impossible love and a commitment to hope. A readers companion
will be availabe at wesleyan.edu/wespress/readerscompanions.
