4Constellating four central topics--ghosts, colors, animals, and bees--in highly attuned prose, Dorothea Lasky explores the powers and complexities of the lyric, "metaphysical I," which she exposes as one of the central expressions of human wildness. In deceptively simple language carrying profound insights directly to readers--with a sense that is at once bold and subtle--Lasky serves as an encouraging guide through the startling, sometimes dangerous, always exhilarating landscapes of feral poetic imagination.
