Prospect comprises poems about vantage points, country and personhood, and the difficulty of understanding what is true. Through meticulously articulated explorations of knowledge, truth, language, and sciences explanatory power, Prospect propels us toward grasping even the metaphysical. Presented in four partsProspect, Country, Proof, and Studies on Anatomy and MourningProspect offers a vision of life scaled as small as a cell and as large as a country, as bordered and un-bordered as a human body, and heightened by the tensions of all that cannot be known.
