Earthwork

The poetry of Earthwork is centered around, sprung from, and located in the landscape of mothering during the increasingly mapless territory of climate change and the pandemic. These are poems that take careful care of the small wonders of childhood and parenthood against such large and looming realities; poems that never stray away from wide-eyed honesty, taking in grief, joy, memory, and the strangeness of life, equally. Poems that stay put on the earth, show us with their small mappings a few ways of doing the necessary work. --------- "This is a quietly powerful collection, one that will become even more necessary as time goes on in our unimagined new world." -Shaindel Beers, author of Secure Your Own Mask, finalist for the Oregon Book Award "The landscape of Earthwork is both refreshingly singular and common to us all. It's a place where hope finds purchase." -Alyssa Chase, writer and editor Throughout this extraordinary collection, Berger's lyrical, meditative voice buoys readers through the wild wrack lines of our existence, making us ask, Dear world, where would I be without you? -Brittney Corrigan, author of Daughters and Breaking
