Jenne Kaivo

Jenne Kaivo's Poems Mostly of the Sea is a broad exploration of the world, and humanity's relationship to it. Individual lives receive detailed focus, as do more abstract aspects of the cosmos, including nuclear fusion ("two atoms merge, burst in pain, are forgotten/ but not without purpose, because their tenacious/ deathsongs light worlds that are deathsongs away"). Recommended for anyone who enjoys poetry with strong meter and fascinating imagery.
