Initial Conditions - Paperback

by Julie Benesh (Author)

The poems in Initial Conditions explore the boundaries between fate and destiny, strategy and circumstance, desire and entropy, by turns bold, humble, amused, appalled, distracted, lethargic, and determined. The title refers to the concept that origins influence trajectory without fully determining outcomes. This debut full-length collection allows space for the poet's words to "progress through regression...evolve through devolution."
