Worn Smooth between Devourings
About This Book
Anxiety about ecological collapse and about national and global catastrophe runs through these poems, but so does a search for ways out of hopelessness. The unease stays in the background, even in settings where time seems to have started and in long-standing love. The speaker openly wants to find contentment and pursues it with a quiet, steady defiance. As Camp writes, "We are suspended in places / entire and different and home." The language is closely attuned to sound, and the poems are built to be heard as much as read. The collection returns to distance again and again, lets birds multiply across its pages, and braids its storylines together. Its subjects include land and scarcity, grief, faith, and endurance.
