Rhett Watts: The Double Nest, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

How can we save what we do not love, or love what we do not know? This two-pronged question is central to the poems in The Double Nest. Drawing close to brookside creatures, Watts attends to the words of monk and writer Thomas Merton, "It is essential to experience all the times and moods of one good place."

The poet also celebrates a seventy-year-old albatross, the friendship of a wolf with a bear, a medieval monk's attempt at flight, and the brother she could not save. As we face species collapse, these poems join the personal with our larger challenge, to create a viable future for "...all who share birth, blood, and breath."
