Kyce Bello's stunning debut ponders what it means to inhabit a particular place at a time of enormous disruption, witnessing a beloved landscape as it gives way to, as Bello writes, \"something other and unknown, growing beyond us.\" Ultimately an exploration of resilience, \u003ci\u003eRefugia \u003c\/i\u003ebrings to life the author's home ground in Northern New Mexico and carefully observes the seasons in parallel with personal cycles of renewal and loss. These vivid poems touch upon history, inheritance, drought, and most of all, trees--be they Western conifers succumbing to warming temperatures, ramshackle orchards along the Rio Grande, or family trees reaching simultaneously into the past and future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Like any wilderness, \u003ci\u003eRefugia \u003c\/i\u003ecreates a terrain that is grounded in image and yet many-layered and complex.
