A book-length poem in six sections, Long Rules takes readers to
five Trappist monasteries in the southeastern United States to
consider the intersections of solitude, family, music, and
landscape. Its lines unspool in a loose and echoing blank verse
that investigates monastic rules, sunlight, Saint Basil, turnips,
Thomas Merton, saddle-backed caterpillars, John Prine, fatherhood,
and everything in between. Looking inside and outside the self,
Perry asks, what, or whom, are we serving? Winner of the Backwaters
Prize in Poetry, this essay in verse contemplates the meaning of
solitude and its contemporary ramifications in a time of
uncertainty.
