Leaf is All

<p><em>Leaf is All </em>is meticulously inventivve as it considers varieties of replication--benign and malign--and the intersections the politics of our communal narratives of family and science. A background in biology informs this poet's compassionate light-footed dance through patent language botanical vocabulary catalogs of recyclable plastics and a poem of Goethe's all of which contribute to a larger meditation on what it means in the dawning of a new century to be a father husband and son. </p>
