Her new collection, \u003ci\u003eBurnt Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e, is set on the rugged slopes of an inauspicious mountain, densely wooded, long ago scoured by fire, and marked by generations of human presence. Fiercely attuned to the match and mismatch between mind and mountain--the ways in which the natural and the human construct and deconstruct each other in the contested realms of art, wilderness, history, devotion, and politics--Wilson's poetics reckon with resistant forces of nature and with the human drive to subdue what eludes us. Above all, these poems encounter the flickering, flowing matrices of being--\"that far-forged interior \/ Outlandish green and flaming cause unknown\"--and give voice to the elemental question of what can and cannot be known or understood--and what can sustain us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Wilson\u003c\/b\u003e is author of \u003ci\u003eThe Great Medieval Yellows\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMicrographia\u003c\/i\u003e (Iowa, 2008), and \u003ci\u003eThe Keep\u003c\/i\u003e (Iowa, 2001).
