We know much of poetry ever was and ever shall be elegiac. Jane Mead's poem could be neither more literal nor nearer the verge of appearing a little too perfect for this world. As the laundry room floods and the grape harvest gets done; as Michoacan waits for another time, her beautiful, practical mother is dying. Ashes are scattered in the pecan groves of her own Rincon, her own corner of the world, and the poet, in elementary script, draws a sustaining record of the only feeling worth the struggle, and she cannot, will not, does not fuck it up. --C.D. Wright\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJane Mead's fifth collection candidly and openly explores the long process that is death. These resonant poems discover what it means to live, die, and come home again. We're drawn in by sorrow and grief, but also the joys of celebrating a long life and how simple it is to find laughter and light in the quietest and darkest of moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e...\u003cbr\u003eThis year I have disappeared\u003cbr\u003efrom the harvest routine--\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ethe pickers throwing their trays\u003cbr\u003eunder the vines, grape hooks\u003cbr\u003eflying, the heavy bunches flying--\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003epickers running to the running tractors\u003cbr\u003ewith trays held high above their heads\u003cbr\u003eand the arc of dark fruit \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003efalling heavily into the half-ton bins.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe hornets swarming in the diesel-filled air.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJane Mead \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of four collections of poetry, most recently \u003ci\u003eMONEY MONEY MONEY \/ WATER WATER WATER \u003c\/i\u003e(2014).
