Peter Schireson's The Salt is a chapbook of 21 poems which touch on a wide range of subjects, including romantic love, the nature of the self, aging, and loss. Self-Portrait with Tree I want to have you, I murmur to the photograph in an airport of a tree on a ridge, its frail silver gelatin silhouette leaning against a bright sky. The shadow hovering at the edge of the frame must be me.
