With prophetic disquietude, Jane Mead's inquiry into the interconnectedness of our choices exposes our existence as paradox. Her poems beseech us to consider the consequences of our collective actions on the planet.Cove, *****I came out of the dark hills and the dark hills own me. I have no patience for the sticky-mindedstratums. The concern of the comfortable for the comfortable makes me sick.

Let's not talk about it. I wish I lived in an opium cloud.Jane Mead is the author of three previous collections of poetry, most recently The Usable Field, also from Alice James Books.
