Description: Possessed of a voracious curiosity about humans and other subjects, the poems in <em>What Is Amazing</em> invent and navigate worlds in an attempt to understand through participation. The book draws upon the wisdom of foolishness and the logic of glee, while simultaneously exploring the suffering inherent to embodied consciousness. These poems explore how we come to recognize and differentiate objects and beings, how their surroundings reveal them, and how wholly each is attached to its name. <em>What Is Amazing</em> delights in fully inhabiting its varied forms and voices, singing worlds that coincide and collide with our own.
