Blade by BladeBlade by Blade

"Danusha Laméris's third books, Blade by Blade, is a book of hungers: Hunger for the bright glare of poppies, for the hidden name of the beloved, for all we keep "in the heart's farthest chambers." Seeking a way back to joy following a season of loss, the poet returns to the natural world. We find wonder in the furred legs of a caterpillar, solace in the seagull's speckled egg. Microscopic and tidal, earthquake- and fir-prone, Blade by Blade thrives in the underbrush of human experience. Luminous missives, these poems ask us to reenter a world we've forsaken, to set foot, as if for the first time, on the green earth and begin again."--
