Description: Poems that traverse and question the lines between human and animal behavior. Experimenting with time language and transgressing boundaries the poems in absolute animal lean into Nabokov's notion that precision belongs to poetry and intuition to science. Rachel De Woskin's new collection navigates the chaos of societal and mortal uncertainty. Through formal poetry De Woskin finds sense amid disorder and unearths connections between the animal and the human between the ancient and the contemporary and between languages incorporating translations from poems dating as far back as the Tang dynasty. From sonnet sequences about heart surgeries to examinations of vole romance and climate change absolute animal investigates and moves across boundaries and invites us to consider what holds life what lasts what dies and what defines and enriches the experience of being human.
