Her second collection broadens these investigations in poems that examine the shape-shifting quality of memory, as seen in folktales that have traveled across oceans and through centuries, and in how we form recollections of our own lives. An opening sequence presents contemporary ghost stories: men who gather at dawn in the gas station parking lots of small towns; the mountain lion that paces the edge of a receding tree line. A middle section draws connections between Appalachia and Latin America, places that share qualities of biological and cultural richness--places that are threatened by modernization. A final sequence retells the stories of earlier poems, posing questions about how we construct our landscapes and frame our views.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRose McLarney\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Always Broken Plates of Mountains.\u003c\/i\u003e Her poems have appeared in the\u003ci\u003e Kenyon Review, Orion, Slate\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eNew England Review\u003c\/i\u003e.
