In her follow-up to 2008's Flutter, former big-city-dweller Alice Burdick explores nature and the small town, taking a cue from children learning their voices: 'All I see are trucks, / trucks and ducks.' With a blend of playful narrative and an Ashberyesque collage approach, Burdick paints a portrait of our world as one of continuous wonder, and full of relationships between people, and between people and things that never die but continually transform, even in death.
