By turns austere, gritty, futuristic, and visionary, Bolin's poems trace the romance between beauty and destruction like vapor trails, seeming to emerge from nowhere and yielding a lucid, unearthly glow, an evocation of absent presences and scattered signs: \"among \/ the disinformation of the distress feeds,\" Bolin writes, \"a pilot hears his coordinates \/ being called by other planes.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This collection evokes the vividly mysterious remnants of a lost civilization. Its preoccupations are unnervingly familiar: war, injustice, brutalization of land, air, water, and species, technologies of terror and dehumanization. Simultaneously antique and space-age, inhabiting a world of elemental rites and of artificial imaginations, Bolin tests the acoustics of operating rooms, battlefields, courtrooms, and mountainsides, and envisions--with animal acuity--a world imperiled and empowered by its leaders and myths. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristopher Bolin\u003c\/b\u003e's previous collections include \u003ci\u003eAscension Theory\u003c\/i\u003e (Iowa, 2013) and \u003ci\u003eForm from Form\u003c\/i\u003e (Iowa, 2018).
