From the quiet sorrows of everyday slight to the overwhelming crises of ecological collapse and gendered violence, these poems document what is \u003ci\u003eoccurring\u003c\/i\u003e--the horrendous and the intimate, the anguished and the magnificent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With ethical attention, Jami Macarty's collection engages the political, ecological, and personal forces that shape and mark our lives, offering an ecofeminist ethic of care as an antidote to extractive capitalism and patriarchal norms. Each poem meditates on power, insists on articulating what is being lost--and what must be saved and reclaimed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Amid the exploitation and violence, these poems find moments of grace: the scent of a sea rose, a desert walk in spring, the company of birds, Earth entire. \u003ci\u003eThe Long Now Conditions Permit\u003c\/i\u003e is both tender elegy and urgent call, exhorting readers to grapple with the devastating failings of humanity and the saving possibilities of love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJami Macarty\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Minuses\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the 2020 New Mexico\/Arizona Book Award-Poetry Arizona, and four chapbooks, including \u003ci\u003eThe Whole Catastrophe \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMind of Spring\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the 2017 Vallum Chapbook Award.
