[ Large Image ] | Scorch Natalie Rice 2023 / Canadian Poetry / $22.95 9781554472499 / Trade paper / 80 pp In Scorch, Natalie Rice situates our sense of individual disconnection and grief within a larger ecology of loss, where nature is an active force and change is a continuous, complex cycle encompassing both the wildfire and whatever beauty may still rise out of the scorched ground. Grappling with connection and disconnection, plenitude and emptiness, Rice’s poems “lean/into what cannot be explained,” listening for the music, voicing the contradictions—“how the unsayable/hung like a red berry in the back/of my throat.” To purchase this title: Add it to your cart | Other Books by this Author | 26 Visions of Light Natalie Rice 2020 / Canadian Poetry / $4.95 CAN 9781554472192 / Pamphlet / 32 pp |
