In \u003ci\u003eDrift Migration\u003c\/i\u003e, chance and fate together weather the earth into a new mind. These are urgent poems, mindful yet wonderfully reckless in their bold devotion.\" — \u003cb\u003eDonald Revell\u003c\/b\u003e, Author of \u003ci\u003eWhite Campion\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDrought-Adapted Vine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eDrift Migration\u003c\/i\u003e walks the trails and swims the inlets of grief and healing. From poems that reanimate Danielle Dubrasky's past through the story of Eurydice and other myths, and her attention to the natural world and its ability to heal, she faces losses of those she has loved: her brother, lovers, friends, and her childhood self in lush Virginia where she grew up. A sudden move to Utah and its mysterious and stark landscape eventually opens a door for her to move forward, slowly falling in love with the desert's erosions, ancient seas, and buried past. These poems brim with a wild energy that keeps us reading, pulled into Dubrasky's deep connection to myth, nature, and landscape, like a gentle undertow. The writing is just beautiful.\" — \u003cb\u003eNancy Takacs\u003c\/b\u003e, Author of \u003ci\u003eThe Worrier Poems\u003c\/i\u003e, Juniper Prize Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Brooding, Bible-stained, and liminal, the best poems in Danielle Dubrasky's \u003ci\u003eDrift Migration\u003c\/i\u003e hover between the visible and invisible, myth and reality, and transform our lives through vision.
