<p><b>Poems emerging from deep memory and shifting landscapes to joyously engage flora, fauna, and self.</b></p> <p>In her latest collection, <i>Peony Vertigo</i>, Jan Conn's poetic sensibility disperses and gathers, careens and slides, in and out of relation with the endangered world. Through poems ranging from global to microscopic scales, Conn's beholden, fluid sense of self dissolves into fog and river, and reconstitutes as bright orange newt, prehistoric horse, painter, and mourning daughter. Her voice is vulnerable, ecstatic, and elliptical, a tender exploration of liminal consciousness and the urge to identify with environments in crisis.</p>
