Past the Edge of Blue

A child imagines life before the West is settled, academics gather to discuss philosophy, a brother considers the importance of a good cup of coffee, a mother dreams of her future, a wife describes what ties her to this world, a husband paints his house blue—Past the Edge of Blue is a meditation on limits and release, structure and loss, and the connections between our inner and outer geographies. Traversing landscapes, time, and poetic form, these poems give voice to the place where detail attempts to explain the trajectories of our lives.
