Poetry. Combining the sensibilities of Emerson, Max Planck and Rachel Carson with the linguistic approach of Stevens, Voros's UNWAVERING offers a new nature poetry for the twenty-first century. The poems demonstrate, writes Ann Lauterbach, "the gorgeous surfeit of the natural world. In sight and sound, the particulars of habitat come to life, almost breaking the confines of language, reaching for, but never quite attaining, the transcendent.... In a moment of grave danger...these poems serve as both solace and urgent warning." John Ashbery writes: "The music of Voros's poetry is, in Conrad Aiken's words, 'more than music.' It's the motion of life and lots of things in it—thinking, changing one's mind, forgetting and remembering.... This is a quietly original and resoundingly beautiful book of poems."
