Affinity - Lisa Kemmerer

. .

Résumé :
Through the eyes of elephants, deer, human beings, turkeys, octopi, and other (perhaps unexpected) mortals, Affinity explores diverse, complex, and fragile interconnections that shape our lives on this delightful (and delicate) planet. In the process, poems carry readers from backyard wildflowers to forests filled with dripping trees, from local prairies to a remote borderland desert, all the while exploring the passing of time, the inevitability of change, and the mesh of forces that help shape what might otherwise seem a single life.
