More DescriptionTravis Lane offers a world intensified, as if each starfish, hummingbird, and blade of Bermuda grass were seen through a magnifying glass. Revealing things in their vivid complexity, she also gives us a wider, larger vision of all that lies before us. This strong, sharply intelligent collection of poems is a call to pay attention, 'though your fingers burn,/ though your eyes sting.'" -- Anne Simpson. "Lane is a pluralist in outlook and technique whose work, over the years, has explored civic space, domestic space, wilderness space, and interiorised psychic spaces. I've long enjoyed Lane's openness to idiosyncrasy -- her willingness to let the odd, the quirky, the eccentric, sing. . . I admire the risks Lane takes in her poetry, her penchant for taking us to "the place where the map gives out". -- Jeanette Lynes.
