Poetry. A THIRST THAT'S PARTLY MINE explores the ways humans perceive and interact with a natural world that can seem both intimately connected to our concerns and yet profoundly unknowable. "In a difficult world, we readers of Liz Ahl's poems might wonder, with her unearthed spring toad, '...what any of us are supposed to do about any of it.' Perhaps these vivid and compassionate poems have the answer as they sweep human language over the endurance and beauty of what's creaturely here. Where species intersect, the result on the page is pure art. Brava, Liz Ahl, poet, observer, participant!"—Hilda Raz.
