In her introduction to Jenny Browne's New and Selected Poems, Naomi
Shihab Nye writes, "The poems are switchboards of care extending in
so many directions, beamed up to high, but always with the subtlety
of idiosyncratic awareness"-it's fascinating to fathom how she gets
from one place to another. A startle, a dazzle of impulses
enlivening the spirit . . . " Browne's poems ask personal
questions: How did we get here? Where are we going? Can we walk
there together? From love letters to strangers to extended
meditations on slow-moving rivers, these poems surprise in their
fidelity to the strangeness of being alive. In the new poems
included here, this heightened awareness is set against the
landscape of a planet undergoing global climate change, quickly
becoming inhospitable. Resisting the poles of paralysis and
apocalypse, Browne travels through extreme and unfamiliar
landscapes, considering the unthinkable, negotiating the past, and
ultimately reimagining the future and our human place in it.
