features poems that are dedicated to where it all began for the poet-when a backyard felt like a world, where the thunderstorms ignited creativity, and how the trains seemed to call to each other in the middle of the night when they crossed her Midwestern city on their way to somewhere else. is about the inspiration and the confusion of home, the roots that anchor, and the scattered thoughts on place and identity that escape definition. The poems in this chapbook find magic in the mundane, whether that be in recounting an old story or loving a creek or saving a luna moth. In the end, the poems come to a realization that no matter where you move, the regional roots of home run deep. They run so deep that they tangle in the soil of the self. The book also includes art (and cover art) by the Midwestern artist, Tina Browder.
