Moving between the epicwar, history, art, myth, philosophyand the specificCNN, Ancient Rome, Auden, MerleauPontyMacdonald examines with humor and intellect what it means to be awake and watchful in the world. These are poems that probe and question, within whose nimble ecosystems we are as likely to encounter Schubert as we are "a hand of violets," Isaac Newton as a "winged quail on turf." Nothing escapes Macdonald's eye and every creature hereinfrom the smallest bird to the loftiest thinkerholds a significant place in her poems.This is an unparalleled collection from one of greatest nature writers, and a poet of dazzling music and vision.
