Winner, 2021 Northern California Book AwardFinalist, 2021 Patterson Poetry PrizeSometimes the most compelling landscapes are the ones where worlds collide: where a desert meets the sea, a civilization, no-man s land. Here in Bonfire Opera, grief and Eros grapple in the same domain. A bullet-hole through the heart, a house full of ripe persimmons, a ghost in a garden. Coyotes cry out on the hill, and lovers find themselves kissing, bee-stung, drunk in the middle of road. Here, the dust is holy, as is the dark, unknown. These are poems that praise the impossible, wild world, finding beauty in its wake.
