minutes between city and forest is a sequence of prose poems inhabiting a borderland between urban and forested space. Assorted wildlife and a group of angels—benign? sinister?—descend upon a neighborhood. The community grapples with presences that suspend belief. In short, during a time when it was difficult for me to write directly about political divisions in my hometown, I found myself writing these gestures of uncertainty.
