Winner of the Backwaters Prize in Poetry, Jennifer K. Sweeney's
Foxlogic, Fireweed follows a lyrical sequence of five physical and
emotional terrains-floodplain, coast, desert, suburbia, and
mesa-braiding themes of nature, domesticity, isolation, and human
relationships. These are poems of the earth's wild heart, its
searing mysteries, its hollows, and its species, poems of the
complex domestic space, of before and after motherhood, gun terror,
the election, of dislocation and home, and of how we circle toward
and away from our centers. Sweeney is not afraid to take up the
domestic and inner lives of women, a nuanced relationship with the
natural world that feels female or even maternal, or a duty to
keeping alive poetry's big questions of transcendence, revelation,
awe, and deep presence in the ordinary.
