These poems are allusive and tough. While they celebrate the pleasures of the natural world--mutability, desire, and the flowering of things--they are compounded by a critical awareness of contemporary culture. As we traverse their associative leaps, we discover a linguistic landscape that is part garden, part wilderness, where a poem can perform its own natural history. Divided into four cantos interrupted by lyrics and errata, Meteoric Flowers mirrors the form of Erasmus Darwin's 18th-century scientific pastorals. In attending to poetry's investigative potential, Willis shifts our attention from product to process, from commodity to exchange, from inherited convention to improvisational use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Wesleyan University Press","offers":[{"title":"Meteoric Flowers | Elizabeth Willis | Paperback | 9780819568496 | Used: Very Good | Poetry 1665886","offer_id":50785107280130,"sku":"1665886","price":22.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61UP9qKeisL.jpg?v=1792246755","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/meteoric-flowers","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
