Paperback. Zustand: Good. In Cecily Parks' beautiful poems, the natural world teeters between being and seeming--the seeming a simulacrum projected onto the world by a mind's yearning, taxonomy and dread. Deeply metaphysical, and deeply attentive to our spiritual as well as physical uses and abuses of nature, O'Nights implicates language's --indeed, lyric poetry's--sad role in this endeavor.--Susan WheelerIn O'Nights, Cecily Parks constructs stunning manifestations of a modern Thoreauvian wilderness, investigating how the natural world gives shape to the self, body, and emotions. These lyrical, transcendental poems study the duality of nature's feminine and masculine identities, and in its simplicity, offers a space where humankind truly belongs.From Bell: This progress, as in the wind-scalloped snowmeadowpretending to be moon. This love that sets us scramblingover the map's last ridge, our red hoods brightin shrunken sky. This metallic weather in which weare the ore. This alder. These crimson-tipped willowsreverberating next to a river of turquoise ice. Thisfollowing the deep tracks of one coyote steppingwhere another has stepped. This wildernessthat we trespass, burning like berries in the juniperand becoming the air in the belfry.Cecily Parks is the author of the chapbook Cold Work (Poetry Society of America, 2005) and the collection Field Folly Snow (University of Georgia Press, 2008), which was a finalist for the Norma Farber First Book Award and the Glasgow/Shenandoah Prize for Emerging Writers. Her poems have appeared in Boston Review, Kenyon Review, Orion, Tin House, Virginia Quarterly Review, the Yale Review, and elsewhere. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The poems in this collection are meditations on the natural world, written from the perspective of what Li-Young Lee has aptly termed a passionate interiority. The history and geography of the American West inspire many of the poems' investigations of the environment and the role of the individual in relation to that environment. In Cecily Parks's landscape made strange by human consciousness, being lost is a requirement, though not a guarantee, of being found.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Seeds confronts the ecological paradox of homemaking in an environment domesticity rejects--one of mess, disease, and everyday violence--to explore the equal distress and delight entangled in caring for a family, a new home, and the earth that sustains them. Cecily Parks draws on literary sources ranging from nursery rhymes to The Odyssey to examine how we form relationships with the natural world. The lessons of these poems are in processes that underscore humanity's power to alter nature and powerlessness to control it: an epiphyte's fall from a live oak, an urban creek's response to drought, or a roof rat's nest-building in the attic of the poet's home. Motherhood positions the speaker to revisit her girlhood relation to the earth, and as her two young daughters exemplify the ease with which children can become nature's intimates, the speaker must confront the ecological disturbances that arise from her own attempts to prevent upset to the garden through aggression by weeds, animals, and weather. The Seeds deconstructs what it means to love nature, especially when the natural world challenges our desires for beauty, abundance, and safety. Looking to more-than-human guides with an open mind and heart, Parks' third book is a collection of unconventional contemporary environmental histories, in which places become biological and emotional primers for those who will inherit them.…
