A major voice in contemporary poetry." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p><p>"[Twichell's poems] track the inner movements of one life with an unexpected freshness." --<i>The Washington Post</i></p><p><i>Publishers Weekly</i> called Chase Twichell "a major voice in contemporary poetry," and this long overdue retrospective supports the claim. Selected from six award-winning books, this volume collects the best of Twichell's meditative and startling poems. A longtime student of Zen Buddhism, Twichell probes how the self changes over time and how the perception of self affects the history and meaning of our lives. Her poems exhibit a deep and urgent love of the natural world amidst ecological decimation, while also delving into childhood memories and the surprise and nourishment that come from radical shifts in perception.</p><p><i>What etiquette holds us back<br>from more intimate speech, <br>especially now, at the end of the world?<br>Can't we begin a conversation<br>here in the vestibule, <br>then gradually move it inside?<br>What holds us back<br>from saying things outright?</i></p><p><b>Chase Twichell</b> is the author of six books of poetry and the best-selling writer's manual <i>Practice of Poetry</i>.
