About the Book

In this striking debut volume, Lucas Farrell offers a lyrical and illuminating field guide to the flora and fauna of worlds just out of reach. With the precision and detail of an Audubon sketch, he turns his naturalist's eye to the vast landscape of human emotion--all the while affirming how real this world we live in / must be to live in.

Journeying ever outward, from the achingly ordinary to the mysterious land where there is no land, the narrator of this collection, equal parts pastoralist and surrealist, explores the vivid in-betweens--between love and loss, hilarity and despair, wild and domestic, real and imagined. Hungry, expressive, and original, these poems glean light from even the darkest of fields.From Further Along NowFurther along the curves of gesture, the delicateapostrophe, in the tongues of muted suns, we'll findourselves in a clearing, in a meadow of ancient grass, picking apart what has long been picked apart. Furtheralong, the compliments, the tweezers and logic, thelaboratory of hard hats and felt pens and hard headsand clipboards hanging from sky's bloody fender, birddroppings steaming calligraphic so long as the cloudsbecome clouds become clouds and amazed we see insuch preventable warfare our own substancesunchanging. Fountains of ash too diffuse to interpret, too complex to diagnose, I quote the many woods ofgrief, too far alone, too deep.
About the Author: Lucas Farrell received his MFA in poetry from the University of Montana. His writing has appeared in Boston Review, Jubilat, Cannibal, Alice Blue, Handsome, DIAGRAM, and elsewhere. He coedits the online magazine Slope and lives in Townshend, Vermont.
