Nest of Matches
About this book
Poems that bask in the beauty of nature, queerness, and love while exploring how dichotomies form identity.
Amie Whittemore's Nest of Matches is a lavish declaration of the beauty of the natural world, queer identity, and of the imagination set free. Whittemore's third collection explores the complexities of loveāromantic, familial, and love for placeāand wonders at cycles of life, finding that: "Every habit / even loveāstrangest / of them allāoffers exhaustion / and renewal." Moving seamlessly from meditations on the moon's phases to explorations of dream spaces to searches for meaning through patterns of love and loss, Whittemore's work embodies the mysteries of dichotomiesāgrief and joy, consciousness and unconsciousness, habit and spontaneityāand how they coexist to create our identities. Throughout the collection, Whittemore reveals how interior nature manifests into exterior habits and how physical landscapes shape the psyche.
