Selected by Victoria Chang as the winner of the 2021 Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry. This is one of those brave collections that offers a panoramic view of time and space, and of humanity's place within them. Additionally, this collection examines the real danger of climate change. It is broad in focus and it is an important and timeless collection.
