Description
At the center of The Weather Gods lie several paradoxes: the world is both a respite and site for grief; a salve and a source of disappointment; a place of renewal and death; a place of enduring spirit and losing control. The book views nature as a place for healing-whether from death, lost love(s), or unmet expectations in the business of living. As people grow into and build their lives, they inevitably find themselves at the mercy of the weather gods; whether at their best in spring's beauty or languishing in the long summer dusks, or in the midst of wet November rain, these forces we do not see but are always present in our lives are all sites for exploration and healing, even if hard-won. The speakers in these poems suggest that-through the relationships they build and the natural miracles they witness-that the often unsettling, muddy act of living our lives is worthwhile. This book asks us to see the world through knowing eyes: nothing is off-limits, and nothing is forgotten.
