Publisher Description: Poetry. As with the classic Chinese poets writing in exile, Jane Augustine's HIGH DESERT embodies a poetics of radical observation in which intense vision and awareness make the beauty and strength of place revelatory. A contemporary, contemplative itinerant, often jotting quick notes while on the road, she records a meditative consciousness imbued with history, memory, and Buddhist and feminist thought. Whether in her Colorado mountains, the south of France or lower Manhattan, even as drought, war, and destruction inevitably encroach, she illuminates poetry's eternal work of tikkun olam, healing the world, and presses us to join her in it.
