A startle, a dazzle of impulses enlivening the spirit . . . .\" Browne's poems ask personal questions: \u003ci\u003eHow did we get here? Where are we going? Can we walk there together?\u003c\/i\u003e From love letters to strangers to extended meditations on slow-moving rivers, these poems surprise in their fidelity to the strangeness of being alive. In the new poems included here, this heightened awareness is set against the landscape of a planet undergoing global climate change, quickly becoming inhospitable. Resisting the poles of paralysis and apocalypse, Browne travels through extreme and unfamiliar landscapes, considering the unthinkable, negotiating the past, and ultimately reimagining the future and our human place in it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eJENNY BROWNE is the author of three poetry collections: \u003ci\u003eAt Once, The Second Reason\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eDear Stranger\u003c\/i\u003e, and two chapbooks, \u003ci\u003eWelcome to Freetown\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTexas, Being. \u003c\/i\u003eShe was the 2017 Poet Laureate of Texas.
