Unfamiliar Weather (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780920486825)

If you've ever wanted "to read with the page turned/upside-down, craving a different perspective," you'll want to enter Unfamiliar Weather, a world of beauty and menace, where "electricity floats just above the surface/of events, phosphorescent/as the ghosts of jellyfish." Beneath the glittering glaciers, you can hear the sound of boulders shifting "like knuckles cracking before a fight," and witness a wind storm that threatens to turn loose the "wilderness waiting in everything," revealing the bare terrain of human isolation. In this turbulent, unpredictable climate, Chris Hutchinson's deft, intelligent poems explore our place in the world, our relationships to nature, to each other, to language, and to art.
