Poems that delve into and explore the blurred boundaries between human and animal behavior. These poetic works engage in experimental exploration, manipulating time, language, and transgressing conventional boundaries. They embrace the notion proposed by Vladimir Nabokov that precision is a hallmark of poetry, while intuition belongs to the realm of science.
In her captivating new collection, Rachel DeWoskin skillfully navigates the tumultuous waters of societal and mortal uncertainty. Through the medium of formal poetry, DeWoskin finds solace and meaning amidst the chaos, unearthing profound connections between the animal and human worlds, as well as between the ancient and contemporary. She incorporates translations from poems dating back as far as the Tang dynasty, adding depth and richness to her poetic tapestry.
Absolute Animal spans a wide range of subjects, from sonnet sequences that delve into the complexities of heart surgeries to examinations of vole romance and the impact of climate change. These poems investigate and transcend boundaries, inviting readers to contemplate the essence of life, its enduring qualities, its transient nature, and what truly defines and enriches the human experience. Through her poetic lens, DeWoskin offers a thought-provoking and immersive exploration of the intricate interplay between humanity and the natural world.
