| Synopsis: |
This collection explores the iconic history of the scorpion in literature and mythology, as demon, poison, and guardian. What may be learned from a species with a 400 million-year history? How might evolutionary intelligence be a lens through which to consider various cultural maladies? Verse odes are interspersed with prose departures and muse upon the many literal and metaphorical connotations of leaving in these poems. What must we celebrate, and from what must we depart in order to reaffirm a more sustainable humanity? What is the human equivalent to molting? What happens when disintegration of landscape becomes internalized? What depths of loss do we traverse in a time when toxicity challenges our ability to see our surroundings? How do you build a house of hope with the potency to counter symptomatic forgetfulness? This work explores the possibility of "departure" as locomotion or energy source, travel and incantatory momentum. |
