Whether standing at her neighbor's fence of desert oleander, or birdwatching with her mother, or flipping through late-night TV, or going out to watch the moon again, Fritz Goldberg never fails to attend the romance of a world we are sure to lose. This is a lyricist unafraid of the ordinary predicament of the night sky, a place where historical figures, scientific inquiry, and encounters with strangers are imagined with intimacy and music, and where the orphic questions are answered by a glance back. Through precise imagery and philosophical reach, these poems pursue what it means to inhabit a mortal body on a threatened planet while still finding moments of wonder, connection, and astonishment.
