Synopsis

Kevin Hearle's collection Each Thing We Know Is Changed Because We Know It explores the writer's sense of identity against the backdrop of his Southern California hometown--what it was and what it is now and, ultimately, what that change means to him. In these poems we see a love-hate relationship with a land that has become a stranger to him before his eyes. Hearle is a native of Santa Ana, the town known for its winds which once fed the wild California brushfires, but now "Sweeps away the L.A. smog, a haze which is the air of millions."
