A visually and lyrically beautiful debut that celebrates the landscapes we take for granted.

Harbour Grids is a long poem in four parts that investigates ideas of community and belonging. Beginning as a meditation on the surface of New York Harbor, the poem radiates outward through issues of labour, location, history, belonging, and subjectivity. How do we experience our complex relations to the world we live in? Harbour Grids seeks to answer this question by combining Stephen Ratcliffe’s attention to daily observation and formal repetition, Lyn Hejinian’s investigations of the linguistic structures, Larry Eigner’s textural sense of language and compositional space of the page, and Juliana Spahr’s ethical attention to the ways we inhabit the world.
