Constellating four central topics--ghosts, colors, animals, and bees--in
highly attuned prose, Dorothea Lasky explores the powers and
complexities of the lyric, "metaphysical I," which she exposes as one
of the central expressions of human wildness. In deceptively simple
language carrying profound insights directly to readers--with a sense
that is at once bold and subtle--Lasky serves as an encouraging guide
through the startling, sometimes dangerous, always exhilarating
landscapes of feral poetic imagination.
