Sometimes the garden is wild and blooming; other times, the coveted tree is only hiding a cell tower, lungs become ATMs, and prayers travel by text message. This is a book for an age when \"new kinds of war...keep \/ changing the maps,\" and when even small slips--\u003ci\u003epreying\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003epraying\u003c\/i\u003e--reveal the instability of the words we rely on. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the heart of the collection lies an obsession with language: its power, its failures, and what remains when it falters. \"Ruth,\" our speaker notes, is \"a kind of compassion \/ nobody wants anymore--the surviving half \/ of the pair of words is ruthless.\" Throughout these poems, dark humor coexists with deep tenderness, reminding us of the human urge to \"love the world \/ we made and all its shadows. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMoffett offers a speaker bewildered and awestruck by the world's contradictions--its technological miracles, its medical uncertainties, its imaginative leaps. These poems, equal parts grief and wonder, give us a landscape that from some angles resembles paradise, and from others, something far stranger.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRosalie Moffett is the author of \u003ci\u003eMaking a Living\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNervous System, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eJune in Eden\u003c\/i\u003e.
