The poems in The Art of Undoing guide the reader through the strange, luminous terrain of what remains after separation-and what may take its place. While tracing a path through personal and collective tragedies, these poems remain attuned to the beauty that appears unexpectedly: a whale surfacing beside a boat, clouds passing/between the fingers of a eucalyptus tree, cormorants popping up with sideways prizes. Rather than retreat from the brokenness of the world, Plumb's lyric meditations gather its fragments into forms of quiet restoration. In scenes shaped by a father's death in Argentina, a mother blinking glass from her eye in a Sagaponack storm, or hermit crabs crawling toward improbable survival, Plumb reveals undoing not only as loss, but as the possibility of pause and renewal.
