Touching down in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Kabul, New York, and Rome, Wetzel's poems, ranging from lyric meditations to discursive drama, weave themselves from her life as wife, lover, stepmother, and traveler. She names the force propelling her River--\"If I must choose a word for you, \/ let it be the word \/ for what flows,\" she writes. At times joyful, at times grief-ridden, Wetzel's poems accumulate associatively pulling slivers of secular solace from a world where violence infuses the body, the landscape, and even dreams, recognizing that while: \"Our lives are always half over. \/ There's still time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarah Wetzel, poet and engineer, is the author of \u003ci\u003eBathsheba Transatlantic\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Philip Levine Prize for Poetry.
