Pursuit

Erica Funkhouser''s poetry finds in the natural world a leaping-off point for all types of human inquiry: physical intellectual and spiritual. Her fourth collection Pursuit gives us poems devoted to the details of living poems that illustrate how a domestic moment may turn suddenly erotic or how a wave of grief may open inexplicably into triumph. Whether driven by elemental need or sublime desire the inhabitants of these thought-provoking poems engage in seeking of every kind.
