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."

About the Author
Kevin Hearle was born on St. Patrick's Day, 1958, in Santa Ana, California, the second of three sons of a fmaily whose mother's side had come to California during the Gold Rush and had moved south to Santa Ana in 1871. He holds degrees from Stanford, the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop, and UC-Santa Cruz. His work has appeared in the anthologies California Poetry: from the Gold Rush to the Present, The Poetry Cure, and Unfolding Beauty: Celebrating California's Landscapes. He lives with his wife on the San Francisco peninsula.
Review
This is a brilliant first book, not because the poet is a native Californian troubled by his sense of exile from the place even though he lives there. It's brilliant because the poet is so gifted. By the end of it Hearle sees through his illusions and cherished self-enchantments, has seen through himself, so that this book, at the end, looks out on the world. --Larry Levis, from the introduction
