Double Take is a poetic meditation through landscapes both real and imagined. The title refers to the act of looking again, back-and seeing anew. Between arrival and disappearance, between the longed-for and the long forgotten, what remains intact across time? Parsing the distance 'in all directions' and taking inventory, this collection explores states of exile and recognition. The poems move across quotidian public squares, the memory of lost homelands, and pastoral landscapes.
