The Mouths of Grazing Things is an unflinching, lyrical meditation
on nature's forced exodus from the human, and the forms of longing,
estrangement, magnetism, and self-otherness that ensue. Arrestingly
tender and fiercely protective of where nature lurks in and out of
us still, Boyden translates for a new landscape where a brain in a
jar is anchored by an apple, a fly-tying fisherman finds love songs
to fish scattered among the barber's sweepings, and the players at
""the most dangerous playground in the world"" prepare for anything
with one fist clenched and the other full of sugar. In poems built
to survive an unsafe journey, this book delivers the now-beyond,
the almost-was, the near-forgotten, and the just-in-time.
