The poems are language- and image-driven narratives that present us with deep and abiding love, a need for orienting oneself, for respecting the process of orientation. They also dwell in the instantaneous shifts, the sudden changes that simultaneously jar and reassure us. The dreamy realism of the work grounds. Readers are confronted with the unpredictable inertia of life wherein we are challenged daily to find comfort while constantly orienting ourselves. The messiness and complexities of life are often what can bring the greatest joys. There is nakedness, stripping down of pretense, and a love for the primal, emotionally driven self. Some favorite poems are \"Liver of Sulfur,\" \"whatever wilderness contained there,\" \"Arrival: Troy, New York,\" and the final poem in the collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIain Haley Pollock\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of three poetry collections, \u003ci\u003eSpit Back a Boy\u003c\/i\u003e (2011), \u003ci\u003eGhost, Like a Place\u003c\/i\u003e (Alice James, 2018), and \u003ci\u003eAll the Possible Bodies\u003c\/i\u003e (Alice James, 2025).
