A collection of lyric meditations cultivated from a deeply personal experience of the natural world, synthesizing the poet’s experiences of the elemental and ephemeral; presence and place.

In Of Mineral, Tiff Dressen initiates a chemical reaction, taking place on the page so meaning is continually created and destroyed. The forces at play create a beautiful and unpredictable stability. With intentionality and deep attention, the poet undergoes an elemental education, learning through articulation how to experience the natural world as an active participant rather than as an observer. As the poet attempts to synchronize their left and right brain, boundaries between the urban and the “wild” dissolve to form a more unified experience of presence.

Tiff Dressen’s first book of poems Songs from the Astral Bestiary was published by lyric& Press, 2014. In 2019, they played the role of Earl of Kent in a production of King Lear. They enjoy urban flâneuring, their felines, and setting type and printing at the San Francisco Center for the Book.
