Creature is a book about love, destruction, and the self, all standing in relation to family and the natural world. The poems themselves try to move toward what cannot be said by finding connection with other life forms: hawks, hummingbirds, pelicans, lizards, horses, ravens, and squid. By moving past linguistic walls into otherness, words become proximate to mystery and inhabit territory where expanses open and embodiment is always on the verge of transformation.
The book is written during the last five years of the poet's father's life and explores the themes of love, destruction, and the self in relation to family and the natural world. The poems attempt to move beyond linguistic boundaries and connect with other life forms, such as hawks, hummingbirds, pelicans, lizards, horses, ravens, and squid, in order to explore what cannot be said. By doing so, the words become proximate to mystery and inhabit territory where expanses open and embodiment is always on the verge of transformation.
