In these exquisitely crafted prose poems, Melissa Kwasny examines the world around her with the quiet and profound attention of a poet at the height of her powers.The questions that have informed much of Kwasnys previous workhow does one have a relationship with the natural world in our time? What can we learn about being human from nonhuman forms of life?find a new urgency in The Nine Senses, as image collides with image to produce a singular ecological and poetic vision, one that is often dire and surreal. Perhaps the extra four senses contribute to the surreal in the sense that Breton defined itas resolution of the real and the dream, Kwasny writes in the title poem.Thematically rich and varied, touching on mortality, temporality, and eternity, this collection puts Kwasny on the forefront of American poetry, and asks the reader: how do we tie ourselves to the world when our minds are always someplace other than where we are?
