In this hybrid poetry chapbook, environments are all-encompassing, and the speaker asks questions of both the human and non-human entities that inhabit them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eA fire that consumed a neighbor’s home is invited to dinner. A mountain mysteriously stands in the corner of the speaker’s apartment. Two eagles are trapped by their locked claws mid- flight, a city park swarms with tear gas and swifts, a coastline is covered by smoke during the 2020 wildfires. Myth and surreal narratives are present throughout these poems, threatening to spill absurdity –and clarity—into the chaos of daily life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e“I guess it’s about what keeps coming back,” opens \"Circles\", a poem midway through this chapbook, which ends with a memory of dust devils whirling across a highway. This circular momentum of return is a movement embodied through the chapbook, which is rooted in a seasonal awareness and attention to the cycles, big and small, that mark life on this earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eCarolyn Supinka is a writer and visual artist from western Pennsylvania.
