<p>?Shortlisted for the 2021 Fiddlehead Poetry Book Prize, M. Travis Lane’s <em>Keeping Count</em> begins in the poet’s favourite terrain: short, condensed lyric that focuses on the natural world. “But pull a thread: music turns” Lane writes, and the book progressively defamiliarizes the reader, moving from ecopoetry to a longer poetry of interiority in the second section, concluding with a final section that focuses on issues of mortality. As George Elliott Clarke has written so aptly, “If you have not read Lane before, prepare to travel: Like T.S. Eliot, she wants you to have a transporting experience in your imagination. If you have read Lane before, prepare for fresh astonishment. She is Homeric breadth and Sapphic brevity."</p><p>?Shortlisted for the 2021 Fiddlehead Poetry Book Prize, M.
