Monotonies of the Wildlife (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781646626779)

Monotonies of the Wildlife is a complex, surreal dialogue with the natural world: its joys, pleasures, and deepest desires whittled down to a few solitary moments of singular yet deeply interconnected animals and selves. Monotonies engages in heartfelt conversations with loss, not only of those with whom we've connected, loved, cherished, but those whom we've failed to do so. Erickson's poem "Player Piano" was long-listed for the Wildfire Words International prize in poetry and is featured in the Transformations Anthology. In its surreal environments, one loses the ability to distinguish between the self and the myriad other selves by which we are surrounded.
