Inhaltsangabe

What Life Is Like Here on Earth dashes between images of hope and joy like a pedestrian caught in a downpour without an umbrella; there's no denying the cold, pelting rain of personal and environmental loss, but even so, there are animals, kind strangers, and love. These poems let readers in on a Midwestern childhood with horses, a woman's life in two generations, the interior monologue of a middle-aged person with chronic illness. They're heartbroken, angry, self-deprecating. Magic peeks into the ordinary world from the distant past and the inevitable future. What happened and what's imagined exist side by side. What do you long for? What makes you suffer? What gives you solace? You know what it's like, this life here on earth.
