Paperback. Condition: Good. Advance praise for We Travel Towards ItBeginning from the instant.the oak fell, destroying the poet-speaker's house on top of her, We Travel Towards It embarks on an awakening born of ruin at once personal and collective-the tree's fall a consequence of climate change-intensified storms. Pence digs into memory, uprooting personal as well as societal traumas of gendered and environmental violence born of desire's endless pursuit, grasping at what / was never ours.

Both metaphor and fact, the storied canopies of the fallen tree and the gap left in its place provide an opening to probe past losses, beauties, and griefs. We Travel Towards It moves deftly between the personal and the public, from the cleaving of childbirth to the anonymous intimacies of strangers sharing hotels after the ever-intensifying natural disasters on the planet we all call home. Surprising and urgent in the face of climate catastrophe, this is a remarkable collection.-Chelsea Rathburn, Author of Still Life with Mother and Knife and Poet Laureate of Georgia.…
