The poems circle the topics of replication, reproduction, and inheritance, and the way these processes are born out in language, history, and biology. In these poems, a baby is born; the world shrinks into tiny pockets under the new logic of contagion; two people are wed; the roses which washed up ashore centuries ago are blooming up and down the cape. All of this is set against a backdrop of ecological ruin, of decimated chestnut trees and a beached baby whale. The collection mirrors the restless spirit of the present, shifting between voices and forms. At times the poems take the form of experimental essays, and elsewhere the sonnet is reimagined and reinvented as a disembodied voice from the distant future. A portal can be a way out or a way in-or a website at the center of many networked websites. These poems take delight in the strangeness of contemporary life, even as they grieve something intangible which has been lost"-- $c Provided by publisher. 830 0 $a Phoenix poets. 941 $a 1 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240402010541.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=518CDE4CF0B611EE96A0B47C3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
