From the Galapagos Islands to Iceland to a retirement village barber shop, these poems mingle natural history, memory, and reflections on mortality. They conjure blue-footed boobies, wildfire, coral-adorned underwater sculpture, a post-election Fourth of July, the aurora borealis. They explore life with twin sisters, the enduring presence of the dead, the way wars cascade through lives, the making and meaning of art, and earthly love.
