This is an ecopoetics that explores the cyclical natures of love and grief, mindful that \"there will be room for desire \/ again, even after it leaves \/ like a flood receding, \/ the damaged farmhouses \/ and washed-away bridges \/ lying scattered the next day \/ amid silt and debris.\" Throughout, Poli's poems hold space for the sacred-finding it in woods overgrown with thorny weeds, in drunken joy rides down rural roads, and in the red ocher barns that haunt the author's physical and emotional landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJessica Poli is the author of four chapbooks and coeditor of the collection \u003ci\u003eMore in Time: A Tribute to Ted Kooser\u003c\/i\u003e.
