Core Samples from the World de Forrest Gander
I liked the background and the ideas; and many of the essay portions. The poetry didn't connect for me.
"Twice Alive" refers to both lichens, which appear throughout this book, and a strong human couple. I think anyway, as usual with poetry I am not 100% sure what the author intended, but that is what I got out of this.
Most of these poems are commentary on nature--post-fire Marin County, a redwood forest, oak trees, scrub and stellar jays, crows harassing a hawk. People do appear--usually a couple, in nature. Surfing in Bolinas, walking in the woods.
I enjoyed this, I know these landscapes so can easily picture them based on Gander's descriptions, and his word choice is wonderful.
Apparently this book is based on? Is? Sangam poetry from the Tamil tradition, and there is a short essay by N. Manu Chakravarthy who is a professor in Bengaluru. I did not much understand this essay, as I have no background.
Favorite poem: Wasteland (for Santa Rosa)… (mais)

This was a bit of a mediocre collection for me. None of the poems really stand out, and I don't think I'll remember any of it in a year's time. I wasn't fond of the way a lot of the poems' lines were broken up because it cut off the flow, but I did like the mixing of English and Spanish throughout the collection. Full review to follow.
