    “Book Descriptions: A career-spanning bouquet of poems by the peerless and inimitable Bernadette Mayer Milkweed Smithereens gathers lively, wickedly smart, intimate, and indelible Bernadette Mayer the volume ranges from brand-new nature poems, pastiches, sequences, epigrams, and excerpts from her Covid Diary and Second World of Nature to early poems and sonnets found in the attic or rooted out in the UC San Diego archive. The world of nature and the pandemic loom large, as in her “The Lobelias of Fear”: …but how will we, still alive, socialize
    in the winter? wrapped in bear skins
    we’ll sit around pot-bellied stoves eating
    the lobelias of fear left over from desperation,
    last summer’s woodland sunflowers and bee balm remind us of black
    cherries eaten in a hurry
    while the yard grows in the moonlight
    shrinking like a salary …”
