This collection of thirty-five of Lanes best poems is selected with an introduction by Jeanette Lynes. An environmentalist, feminist, and peace activist, M. Travis Lane is known for witty and meticulously crafted poems that explore the elusive nature of 'home' in both historical and present contexts and reflect on the identity of the woman poet and what it means to be a writer. Lanes poems exhibit impressive range and variety -- long poems, short lyrics, serial poems, poems inspired by visual art -- and are richly attentive to the landscapes, both urban and wild. In her introduction 'As Opportunity for Grace, This Life May Serve', editor Jeanette Lynes discusses how Lanes poetry integrates an eco-poetic vision with explorations of the artists task of mapping her world. Lanes afterword reinforces her sense of the poets project as a form of mystical play, a search for patterns in the 'unified disunities' of all things.
