Description
Companion Grasses explores the relationship between humans and their environment through poetry. The poems take readers on walks through various landscapes in Northern California and New England, immersing them in the specifics of bioregion and microclimate.
In this collection, the poet seeks to uncover the sacred in the natural world, drawing inspiration from Transcendentalist ideas while also engaging with the ecological tradition of California poets. The result is a unique blend of ecologically rich landscapes and highly rhythmic inscapes, which set seasonal and human dramas side-by-side.
The poems compose an ethics of what it means to be a human companion to the natural world, highlighting the connection between our love for nature and where we live. With its focus on place and aesthetics, Companion Grasses offers a thought-provoking exploration of our relationship with the environment.
