Dimensions: 9.0in. x 5.9in. x 0.4in.John Keats was of the belief that a life of any worth is a continual allegory. A. E. Watkins debut collection takes on the notion with a lovely seriousness. The brilliance in these poems isnt simply in their lyric surety-a music so unfailing it turns image melodious-but in using lyric for a purpose often neglected in contemporary poetry. The poems here become a space in which the grain of the personal is held within the furrow of the allegorical, and over the course of a year, we witness the speakers identity suffer into symbolic sympathy. That sympathy is erotic and agricultural-that ancient twining-and allows Watkins to invoke the world of Orpheus and Eurydice into his own, all while showing his readers, as a poet must learn to do, the reciprocal consequences of having ones own life called back into the forgotten one. Well, the forgotten world save only for poems such as these, which refuse to accept the post-modern condition as a separation from our allegorical one. These are poems of wonder and nostalgia, and a reminder that such conditions are not easy, but are instead evidence of the very wound that wondered this world green. -Dan Beachy-Quick Herein, a poetry that takes its time, forgoing pyrotechnics for a low, slow burn. Other elemental activitys here as well-the wind flogging the prairie; the mind dirtying itself; a glass of water having its way with a stick. Dear, Companion is a definitive bewilderment, a bountiful catalog of thought and observation and loss. Read it and reap. -Graham Foust This item ships from multiple locations.

For example, the erect stem of corn sends out roots freely from the nodes near the ground, and the poison-ivy and trumpet-creeper cling to supports by tendril-like roots produced by the nodes. All that has been said emphasizes the importance of nodes, which can produce leaves, stems, and roots; and therefore a single node from an old plant may make a new plant possible. This is further emphasized in the method of propagating potatoes, which are thickened subterranean stems called tubers (Fig. 217). It is well known that when a tuber is cut in pieces for planting, each piece must contain one or more eyes. An eye is a branch bud in the axil of a minute scale-leaf. There is no special virtue in the eye except that it locates a node, and it is the node that starts the stem and root for a new plant. A third stem-position may be called the climbing position, by which a better exposure of leaves to light may be secured than in a prostrate position, but no more free space for leaf display, since the support cuts off the space for display on one side. In fact, a prostrate stem on exposed soil is about the equivalent Fig. 200. -A bean turning about a support.
