Summary

These poems trace, through their web of reference, a life story of reading -- the Bible, Shakespeare, Blake, Lewis Carroll, and Emily Bronte meet Michael Palmer, Fred Wah, and Robert Duncan -- not just Clark's life story but any readers who finds in words a way to lure the spirit homeward. Clark attends as well to the world outside the book, finds in the weather her "ground of understanding" ("Weather Body 1"). This understanding, so deeply rooted in the weather, is itself an unfolding, our clearest immersion in process.
