Laced with anticipatory grief at all we have to lose, the collection nonetheless insists that we hold on to beauty. Here is a vision of how to nurture our wounded relationship with the natural world and deepen our humanity in the face of disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThese poems ask, what if being uprooted by catastrophe were an opportunity to plant new seeds? What if we could grow something more vulnerable and abundant, an intricate attention to spider tunnels in the snow and the way sunsets are rendered more beautiful by the haze of wildfire smoke. The night was already lit by stars before we drowned them. \u003cem\u003eApproaching Equinox\u003c\/em\u003e invites us to open our eyes to the coming dark and welcome what awakens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eStephanie Sesic teaches college writing and is happiest when dancing under the sky or visiting her favorite trees in the Cuyahoga Valley.
