The chemistry of this conversation includes pomegranates for human heads, bones that can walk, and a ship sprung from a person's back, "floating farther from shore." The speaker in these incantations, behind these urgent watercolors, muses on the philosophies of geologic time, climate change, human genomes, and existential destruction. This book sets out to discover meaning in this terrible, beautiful time -- and suggests wonder is where we'll find it: "the diagnosis is strong / for the wild & wind mills." Full Color.
