Winner of Weatherford Award for Best Poetry Book about AppalachiaA poet acclaimed for "uncompromising, honest poems that sound like no one else" ( The Rumpus ) now offers considerations of the natural world and humans' place within it in ecopoetry of both ambitious reach and elegant refinementRose McLarney has won attention as a poet of impressive insight, craft, and a "constantly questioning and enlarging vision" (Andrew Hudgins). In her third collection, Forage , she continues to weave together themes she home, heritage, the South, animals, water, the environment. These intricately sequenced poems take up everything from animals' symbolic roles in art and as indicators of ecological change to how water can represent a large, troubled system or the exceptions of smaller, purer tributaries. At the confluence of these poems is a social commentary that goes beyond lamenting environmental degradation and disaster to record--and augment--the beauty of the world in which we live.
