Description

The Principle of Rapid Peering by Sylvia Legris is inspired by the feeding behavior of certain birds, who instead of waiting passively for food to approach them, engage in a continuous mode of "rapid peering". This concept serves as the foundation for Legris' poetic collection, which explores the intersection of nature and language.

The book is a lyrical almanac that documents the poet's observations of prairie habitats, weather patterns, and the natural world. With meticulous attention to detail, Legris weaves together elements of ornithology, entomology, and anatomy into her condensed and inflective lines.

Through her poetry, Legris captures the essence of the natural world, where the boundaries between observer and observed blur. This is a book that will appeal to readers who appreciate the beauty of language and the natural world.
