Description These technically experimental poems express an almost religious devotion to the minerals of the Southwest, but they are also a kind of sleight-of-hand, creating a metonymic landscape where every corner of the Southwest represents a human love affair with land, body, and other.

Thus, the poems are a geologically obfuscated narrative sequence, a story of our desire for anything volcanic, anything that approximates a cure for the modern world, a heaven of the earth's making.
