The poems in Meaning to Go to the Origin in Some Way arise amidst those remnants, historical and everyday, that redefine what we know to be underfoot in the places we live. From the Rose Creek Preserve to Koppel Farm Community Garden to a backyard on Pioneer Hill - and in many spaces in between - these poems suggest that, as ecologically-attuned 21st century inhabitants, we need to not only understand the complex of relationships - as scientists help us do - but also to listen deeply for meanings at every level with a various awareness of what lives and thrives.
