In her third collection, Durham invites readers into the lush terrain of a feral woman entering midlife amidst personal and cultural turmoil, encountering new insights in the realms of folklore, feminism, ecophysiology, mental illness, and mysticism. At once restless and rooted, these lyric forays immerse in a single ecological landscape, and yet they range far— epic meanderings in the vast and changeable internal wilderness of a lifelong seeker.
