between her thighs, the buffalo holding sky.
saucers of mountain sway. deities spill, shining & suffering
not forgetting we can’t everwhose fury sings like eagles
skeletons unlean from fruit trees, falling
like white gunsmoke, we want/to be here. listen.
the wind has blown all the birds from our hair.

Recensione:
"Emily Carr explodes our understanding of ourselves and what we might be doing here on this planet. The poet offers a new mythology for the world we go about acting as if we know. I need this book, and right now we all could use what this book freely gives us."
—Dara Wier
"Carr unfurls a world shot through with the embodied spiritual, a universe numinous and immanent, replete with permeated mediation. The gods here float, as they did for Pound in the azure air."
—Craig Dworkin
"A raw energy rips through these poems in language that refuses to land. Carr works her fabulous phrasing against a backdrop of the natural world caught on its own terms. The whole coalesces into vivid presence with everything at stake and the verve to address it.
—Cole Swensen
"Writing through slivered landscapes, this is verbal art delighting in its impossibility and showing us that those moments where connectives fail, we are tethered by something else."
—Sandra Doller
