This collection spans political outcry, Martian speculation, Texas landscapes, aging, grief, and exuberant love for grandchildren, music, animals, and language. Using traditional forms, it links personal memory and family tenderness with tyranny, war, technology, and death, asking what beauty, truth, and courage can still mean. Later sequences play with bugs and birds in witty monologues, and with Anglo-Saxon-style riddles that personify forces like water, speech, time, and death as double-edged presences in human life. The long poem Zebulon reimagines explorer Zebulon Pike, probing flawed heroism, misreading, and the obsessive lure of sources and summits. The volume closes with formal translations and adaptations of German Romantic poets, extending its concerns with love, suffering, reconciliation, fate, and the power and danger of words themselves.
