Illustrating solitude, memory, and the consolations of art, this new volume of poetry explores a variety of conceptssuch as the pull of the natural world, the loss of a beloved parent, an inherited family garden, and the claims of the imagination. From a Bartok piano concerto and characters in Chekhov's The Cherry Orchardto celebrities such as Dolly Parton, the collection delves into these subjects and more with passionate detachment and surreal wit. A wide range of verse forms is utilized, including the villanelle, the elegy, and the contemporary sonnet.
