"Gander’s lines signpost paths of affirmation whilst also pointing to precarious and challenging terrain. Spaces of inquiry into paradox, aging and our labour towards revelation." My review of 'Mojave Ghost' (New Directions Publishing) by Forrest Gander. Please take a read 🙏🔥 #poetrycommunity

More from Forrest Gander's 'Mojave Ghost' (@ndbooks.bsky.social) ❤️ I'm very much taken by the poet's close observation of minutiae amid the vastness. How an entire scene juxtaposes life and death—of human, bird, insect, amphibian, light..love—so effortlessly. #poetrycommunity #poetry #ecopoetry
