The natural world provided a life-giving respite from domestic violence. She found, in the tropical flora and fauna, great beauty and meaningful connection. She made her way by trying to learn the name of every flower, every insect, every fish and shell and tree she encountered.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat world no longer exists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this collection of poems, Sellers laments its loss, while observing, over the course of a year, daily life of the people and other animals around her, on her street, and in her low-lying coastal town, where new high rises soar into the sky as the storm clouds gather with increasing intensity and the future of the community--and seemingly life as we know it--becomes more and more uncertain.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSprung from her daily observation journals, haunted by ghosts from the past, \u003ci\u003eField Notes from the Flood Zone\u003c\/i\u003e is a double love letter: to a beautiful and fragile landscape, and to the vulnerable young girl who grew up in that world. It is an elegy for the two great shaping forces in a life, heartbreaking family struggle and a collective lost treasure, our stunning, singular, desecrated Florida, and all its remnant beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeather Sellers is the author of four poetry collections: \u003ci\u003eField Notes from the Flood Zone\u003c\/i\u003e (BOA, 2022); \u003ci\u003eThe Present State of the Garden\u003c\/i\u003e (Lynx House Press, 2021); \u003ci\u003eThe Boys I Borrow\u003c\/i\u003e (New Issues Press, 2007), which was a finalist for the James Laughlin Award; and \u003ci\u003eDrinking Girls and Their Dresses\u003c\/i\u003e (Ahsahta Press, 2002).
