A number of the poems in the collection are monologues in recurring voices--specifically those of a glacier, a sycamore, and a wasp--offering an inventive, prismatic approach to Didden's ambitious subject matter. As poet Scott Cairns says, \"Didden's is a capacious voice, able at once to deliver both wit and wonder, canny insight and meditative mystery.\" In \u003ci\u003eThe Glacier's Wake\u003c\/i\u003e, the scientific, the elegiac, and the fantastical intertwine in the service of considering our human place--constructive and destructive, powerful and impermanent--amidst the massive shiftings that are occurring endlessly all around us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Washington, D.C., native, Katy Didden holds degrees from Washington University, the University of Maryland, and the University of Missouri.
