Earthwhere<\/em> was written under the sign of disaster\u2013a house fire, a global pandemic, the health crisis of a spouse, the stillbirth of my niece. In many of the poems, I address a \u201cyou,\u201d a regular feature of lyric poetry, partly because it powerfully conjures a singular other, the \u201cto whom\u201d of address, our most precious loved ones. It made writing the poems feel like receiving the gift of their attention, like they were with me. Also, it made the act of writing an act of preservation, for poems enact and elicit emotion, connection. They\u2019re all love letters, really.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
