Listen as she sings love songs to the cephalopod dead, the manatees' eyes "cataracted by microplastics," and the Colorado that "forgets it's a river." Smile as she imagines T.S.

Himeles helps us know our place as specks of a star, kin to all animals, in poems that dance with the pleasure of language. -Alicia Ostriker, author of Waiting for the Light…mehr
