Refugia: Poems: Test Site Poetry Series, cartea 1
Autor Kyce Belloen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 sep 2019 – vârsta ani
Winner of the 2020 New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards
Winner of the inaugural Interim 2018 Test Site Poetry Series Prize
Refugia is a bright and hopeful voice in the current conversation about climate change. Kyce Bello’s stunning debut ponders what it means to inhabit a particular place at a time of enormous disruption, witnessing a beloved landscape as it gives way to, as Bello writes, “something other and unknown, growing beyond us.” Ultimately an exploration of resilience, Refugia brings to life the author’s home ground in Northern New Mexico and carefully observes the seasons in parallel with personal cycles of renewal and loss. These vivid poems touch upon history, inheritance, drought, and most of all, trees—be they Western conifers succumbing to warming temperatures, ramshackle orchards along the Rio Grande, or family trees reaching simultaneously into the past and future.
Like any wilderness, Refugia creates a terrain that is grounded in image and yet many-layered and complex. These poems write us back into an ecological language of place crucial to our survival in this time of environmental crisis.

Recenzii
"In Bello’s tender debut, mothers and children tend to a resilient Earth, even as anxiety about climate change overwhelms the landscape."
—Publishers Weekly
"Quietly political... Loving, unsparing visions of Bello’s native and family environments make Refugia both a lament and a song of praise. The poems are arranged in a direct way and are rife with detail, their lines both visceral and accessible."
—Foreword Reviews
"Refugia captures the losses, the quiet rage, and the constant, near-overwhelming wonder of life on this very particular planet in this very particular moment, somehow also managing to make amends with the arriving of our almost certainly unfamiliar future."
—World Literature Today

Extras
Refugia (6)
You will want what I want—
some sweet spot canopied in buffered slope.
Each hidden canyon a sanctuary.
Our bodies turn ancient in their retreat,
as in snowshoe hare leaping like a white
flare across brown earth
or the pika nibbling lichen
from alpine talus,
storing yarrow feathers in haystacks
for winter.
You will want like I want.
We will fluctuate our arrivals
into a pattern,
count species
on our fingers, follow folded seams
leaking groundwater into pools.
Snatched remnants of the old world crowded
into this refuge,
our houses burned behind us.
