Some Things in This World: Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781578691869)

In Joyce Thomas's third book, the beauty, wonder, and marvel of the natural world are memorably evoked in meticulously crafted poems. At times elegiac, at times playful, poems take inspiration from-and hold witness to-the natural world as it is, as well as the abuses to which humans have subjected it. Calling on the past and foreseeing into a future, both grappling with extinctions, Some Things in This World uses the power and transcendent possibilities of the sympathetic imaginative and the transformative magic of language to hold a mirror to our world.
