“In this language-rich collection, Trzyna ranges from abstruse reflections on imaginary numbers to descriptions of ordinary ‘boxes of rubber and leather heels’ in a cobbler’s shop. The wide variety in imagery—as in poems that honor the California oaks, or exotica like the ‘shocking crimson birds with emerald wings’ of Muscat—yields a poetry alive to and filled with respect for the natural world and the people who inhabit it. A delight to read!”
