Summary:
"In this, her fifth collection, the author reflects on the notion of habitation - of human life as a series of sojourning moments. Her delicate evocations of complex relationships, landscapes, and the lives of animals reveal a sensibility living in and through language. Crafted with precision and ingenuity, these poems never strain for effect."--Cover.
