<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>In her second collection of poems, Michelle Taransky explores the timeless pleasure of the woods while addressing the ecological dangers of the modern day, creating a new kind of poetic genre—confessional nature poetry. She describes a landscape where perspective is not singular, where waiting, worrying, watching, and recording are able to both arrange and derange one’s understanding of place. The poems express the pressing need to face directly into the reality of each moment and to question what it means to be moral in this troubled and calamitous world.
