Griswold's language is forthright and intimate as she steers between the chaos of a tumultuous inner world and an external landscape littered with SUVs, CBD oil, and go bags, talismans of our time. Alternately searing and hopeful, funny and fraught, the poems explore the world's fracturing through the collapse of the ego, embodied in a character named \"I\"--a soul attempting to wrestle with itself in the face of an unfolding tragedy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEliza Griswold\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of an acclaimed first book of poems, \u003ci\u003eWideawake Field\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as \u003ci\u003eThe Tenth Parallel: Dispatches from the Fault Line Between Christianity and Islam\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the 2011 J.
