The Law of Conservation is a poetry collection intensely attuned to
landscape, both geographic and metaphorical. Borders blurred as
cities cede to rural land; the body as a changing place on an
equally unstable map; the subsoil of sexuality; the terrain of
memory, both rich and painful; new countries traveled and new roots
set down as an adult, navigating desire, loneliness, and love. In
the context of gender and sexual identity, Spada’s work pays
subtle, incisive attention to the inextricable relationship between
transformation and conservation: transformation toward the
experience of honoring and protecting our deepest and most abiding
truths. At the same time, her poems also unsparingly explore the
external shifts (in the speaker’s surroundings and even her
memories) that make it so challenging to retain an unassailable
sense of self.
