Am-phib-ian

By Jessica Lanay

Exploring the will to survive the existential disorientation and emotional loss resulting from fractured relationships with lovers and kin.

In lush imagery of earth, sea, sky, flora and fauna, am-phib-ian traces a daughter's odyssey--through a web fractured relationships with both lovers and kin, experiences the poet calls a "physics of cruelty"--and through the flux of accompanying existential questions concerning personal identity. This collection is also the story of a spirit determined to survive the journey--appropriating in the effort whatever available tools and attributes--human or amphibian.
