From a Sandstone Ledge: Poems

From a Sandstone Ledge, like the rock's elements, offers a view at once firm yet shifting, as we travel the blue highways of memory seeking a way home. From the backyard to the borderlands, the living room rocker to the 32,000 acre Llano Estacado plateau, place reminds us that we are part of, not separate from, the natural world. In these often human-altered landscapes, populated by porcupines, ducks, tarantulas, and more, Armitage explores the complexity of kinship and story-making-and the sustainability of wonder.
