Beschreibung
Elegy for a broken world and all it-we-might still become. Love Like a Body Carried to Shore. , from award-winning poet Abigail Chabitnoy, is an invitation to listen. This ecologically and emotionally charged collection explores continuity through water and weather, through the intimacies of relation, where knowing is a bodied verb. Moving with a tidal rhythm across its undivided form, the book weaves ancestral memory with myth. Grounded in the work of environmental witness, it extends its meditation to the permeability between human and animal. Domestic spaces blur with the mythic. The self emerges inside the landscape. Engaging Indigenous and Judeo-Christian cosmologies, Chabitnoy reconfigures these frames into openings toward mutuality. Amid ecological and cultural precarity, the poems enact reclamation, seeking moments outside of causal time, where future catastrophe loosens its hold long enough for the body to remember what it is to love the world and be loved by it. [sample poem]NOT A DRILLThe berries were not ripe we plucked and burst on our tongues. We bent low to thumbeach foreign body thatopenedheld our breath to record erratics glissadingfrom the mountains we left standing the sigh of icemeltsthe rust we smelledalready monument. It was love we pressed our fingersthroughthe honeyed fungus love we let the shallow rooted spruce stand where no one had need love we sang to chase the bears from the brush we projected on the iceberg when the dark was sufficient love we refrained from throwing stones at themuddied lake. Sea weeding through green it was love we did not pluck the unsightly growth from the supple earth.
