  abstract: "Moira Magneson's first full-length poetry collection is a constellation of lyric, narrative, and experimental poems whose subjects are the wild and the creatures-domestic, untamed, and human-who inhabit that space. Rooted primarily in a Western landscape and infused with Buddhist notions of interconnection and impermanence, the book is divided into three parts, with the first exploring our paradoxical relationship to animals: our sometimes unbearable yearning to merge with their mystery alongside our inclination, conscious or not, to destroy them. The book then shifts its gaze to poems that spotlight human precarity, our frailties and shortcomings. In the final section, the aperture widens, revealing a more inclusive depth of field, while moving toward a growing acceptance of the dark and bright and coming to terms with the beautiful ruin of our imperfect world"--
