A bold poetic intervention into the pastoral tradition.Elizabeth Willis s new collection is a stunning collision of the pastoral tradition with the politics of the postindustrial age. These poems are allusive and tough. While they celebrate the pleasures of the natural worldmutability, desire, and the flowering of thingsthey are compounded by a critical awareness of contemporary culture. As we traverse their associative leaps, we discover a linguistic landscape that is part garden, part wilderness, where a poem can perform its own natural history. Divided into four cantos interrupted by lyrics and errata, Meteoric Flowers mirrors the form of Erasmus Darwin s 18thcentury scientific pastorals. In attending to poetry s investigative potential, Willis shifts our attention from product to process, from commodity to exchange, from inherited convention to improvisational use.
