Nest of Matches
Amie Whittemore
Ă propos de ce livre
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 loveâromantic, familial, and love for placeâand wonders at cycles of life, finding that: "Every habit / even loveâstrangest / of them allâoffers 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 dichotomiesâgrief and joy, consciousness and unconsciousness, habit and spontaneityâand 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.
