A Habit of Landscape

<p>A Habit of Landscape celebrates the convergent meanings of habit and habitat. each sharing the words to dwell. These poems hold sensate moments-family experiences inner revelations transformative places. A realized kinship between the human and natural worlds signals the inclusiveness of place. Not something out there this shared space-personal or global- often surprises in the poem's turn. Like flash narratives these poems contain worlds in the vibrating fabric of the instant- forgotten dismissed previously unseen. Whether an elegy for a brother an encounter with a pronghorn or the whispers surrounding adoption these lyric pieces speak to the sacrality of the moment.</p>
