Shenan Hahn's work sashays lyrically from the earth daughter, wet and wild, in her opening poem, We Daughters, to the mystical memories of Billie Golden, a poem that begins with an obituary. There's even a short short story about Wanda Thorpe, The Rockabilly Queen of Alaska, who saws open the belly of a fish to songs like Crying or Squeeze Me Just a Little. Who Owns What Here? is an earthy collection-not snarky and citified-larded with descriptions of air, water, smoke, and music.

We hear our own voice, Hahn writes in a sestina, and in these poems with their dazzling imagery and deep connections to the natural world, we not only hear ourselves, but we also discover ourselves in all our emotional nakedness and longing. Nothing shrinks from the salt, the wind, or the freeze, nor does Hahn ever shrink from laying bare our deepest selves with all our longings, fears, and those little events that become omens and the inbred instructions / for assembling oneself, instructions that Hahn delivers through the rhythms and music of her verse. She examines the intricacies of relationship as easily as she extolls the many ways in which nature calls us, all the time using a variety of poetic techniques that reveal her wide-ranging mastery.
