The Maybe-Bird is a beautiful net cast in the hope to retrieve, and a wonderful net to get caught in as a reader. --Burgi Zenhaeusern, River Mouth Review
The Maybe-Bird cements Jennifer Elise Foerster as a visionary voice in contemporary poetry. Through a spiraling sequence of lyric poems, a cast of voices--oracles, ghosts, water--speaks to a long history of genocide, displacement and ecological devastation. Foerster uses new poetic forms and a highly conceptual framework to build these poems from myth, memory and historical document, resurfacing Mvskoke language and story on the palimpsest of Southeastern US history. Foerster leads us on a journey through the visible and invisible landscapes of our human story, through what feels like multiple lifetimes, where we hear the language of the shifting weather and stand on the haunted edge of the world.
