Winner of the Benjamin Saltman Poetry Award, But a Storm is Blowing From Paradise emerges at a time when science is discovering more and more about the mystical particles that make up our universe and our bodies. From tidal forces and prairie burns to ruminations on racial identity while standing at the foot of Mount Rushmore, these poems chart a travelogue through mental and physical landscapes and suggest that place, time, love, and bodies are all shifts in the cosmos. Straddling the lyrical and experimental, these poems conjure and connect the cosmological, the carnal, and the personal in a country and a universe that is gobbling itself into oblivion. -- amazon.com
