In The Weight of Drought, Jacobs reaches toward the natural world with compassion, nudging the muzzle of a horse with the back of his hand, bottle-feeding an abandoned calf, and watching chickens take flight; to get there, these poems must acknowledge the cruelty of the natural world, the relationship between drought and flood, and question what meaning lies behind dying. With landscapes and intimacy, these poems capture what it means to connect by digging in the soil, feeding another, and holding. Through devotions, pastorals, and still lifes, The Weight of Drought looks at the duality of beauty and ugliness, love and violence to explore what it means to be whole.
