Thought That Nature - (Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry) by Trey Moody (Paperback)

About the Book

Like rigorous philosophy, Trey Moody's poems begin with immediate evidence, then move outward, examining nature, weather, history, and ghosts.

Book Synopsis

In the middle of the night, when the fruit
is scariest. I hold my hand out

and feel your nibbling. Don't worry,
my eyes are still closed. I've only

peeked that once. The cold
that is your breath--these windows

of fog. If I were outside,
I'd read your name backward again and again.
