Description: Translations from Bark Beetle : Poems, Paperback by Gladding, Jody, ISBN 1571314555, ISBN-13 9781571314550, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US "A powerful, eeri." CECILIA VICUA In this inspired collection, acclaimed poet and translator Jody Gladding takes the physical, elemental world as her point of inquiry, examining how language arises from landscape, and deriving a lexicon for these poems from the rich offerings of the world around her. In some poems, Gladding steps into the role of translator, interpreting fragments left by bark beetles or transcribing raven calls. In others, poems take the form of physical objectsa rock, split slate, an egg, a featheror they emerge from a more expansive spacea salt flat at the Great Salt Lake, or a damaged woodlot. But regardless of the site, the source, or the material, the poet does not position herself as the innovator of these poems. Rather, the objects and landscapes we see inTranslations from Bark Beetleprovide the poet with both a shape and a language for each poem. The result is a collection that reminds us how to see and to listen, and which calls us to a deeper communiontrue collaborationbetween art and the more-than-human world.
