These poems hear the tracer fire in a bird's song and capture cell division and troop deployments in the same expansive thought. They move through concentric levels of association and embrace --from the space between the hands to the mesosphere and back again--touching everything in between. The book's focus shifts between local and global, public and private, individual and social. Everything gets in: through all five senses, through windows, between your sheets, under your skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a time of war, dirty air, missile worship when all oracles seem silenced, from every eco-lyric pore these fine auroras of \u003ci\u003eThis Connection of Everyone With Lungs\u003c\/i\u003e have been streaming. Registering 9\/11 as cellular rupture, this is a work of full globality which redeems our time, makes us remember all that poetry is capable of as form, frame, syntax linking air, earth, lung; what Emerson meant by lyric language as nothing less than externalization of planet's soul.--Rob Wilson, author of \u003ci\u003eWaking in Seoul\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"By listing, by naming, the atrocities--the harrowing stats, the scary particulars--in our world-at-endless-war--we might at least exert control over our sanity and extend our mind and compassion to others. It is a connected universe as Spahr so forcefully and powerfully reminds us. \u003ci\u003eThis Connection of Everyone with Lungs \u003c\/i\u003eis a sustained and anaphoric meditation, a catharsis for our predicament.\"--Anne Waldman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJuliana Spahr \u003c\/b\u003eis a poet, critic, and editor.
