Here racism, climate collapse, and pandemic, as well as the very real threat of extinction--both personal and across ecosystems--are dramatized in intimate portraits of Rust-Belt Appalachia: a young boy who has been sexually assaulted struggles with dreams of revenge and the possible solace that nature might provide; a girl whose boyfriend has enlisted in the military faces pregnancy alone; and a bear named Ursus navigates the fecundity of the forest after his own mother's death, literally crashing into the encroaching human world. Each poem in \u003ci\u003eCoffin Honey\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to illuminate beauty and suffering, the harrowing precipice we find ourselves walking nearer to in the twenty-first century. As with his past prize-winning volumes, Davis, whose work \u003ci\u003eOrion Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e likens to that of Wendell Berry and Mary Oliver, names the world with love and care, demonstrating what one reviewer describes as his knowledge of \"Latin names, common names, habitats, and habits . . . steeped in the exactness of the earth and the science that unfolds in wildness.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTODD DAVIS\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of seven full-length collections of poetry as well as a limited-edition chapbook, \u003ci\u003eHousehold of Water, Moon, \u0026amp; Snow\u003c\/i\u003e.
