In language that melds the vernacular and the archival, these ballads recall moments of love as they arise in an everyday existence dominated by an awareness of political and ecological collapse. Caught between the terror of wandering and the awe of witnessing new minds as they acquire early words and memories, the poems hold out hope for the tenuous transmission of meaning between generations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCyrus Console\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eBrief Under Water\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Odicy\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRomanian Notebook\u003c\/i\u003e.
