| book description |

In poems full of bounty, loss and the mysteries of the body, Taylor offers a rich, severe, memorable meditation about what it means to try to connect our bodies and our time on earth. In 2010, Tess Taylor was awarded the Amy Clampitt Fellowship. Her prize: A rent-free year in a cottage in the Berkshires, where she could finish a first book. But Taylorâ€”outside the city for the first time in nearly a decade, and trying to conceive her first childâ€”found herself alone. To break up her days, she began to intern on a small farm, planting leeks, turning compost, and weeding kale. In this calendric cycle of 28 poems, Taylor describes the work of this year, considering what attending to vegetables on a small field might achieve now. Against a backdrop of drone strikes, ""methamphetamine and global economic crisis,"" these poems embark on a rich exploration of season, self, food, and place. Threading through the farm poetsâ€”Hesiod, Virgil, and John Clareâ€”Taylor revisits the project of small scale farming at the troubled beginning of the 21stÂ century.
