Poetry, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features. This collection of poems begins with the blurred, celestial landscapes of grief and final moments, but concludes with resilience and adventure. The poems conjure interstellar elements such as hissing meteorites and a grasping, hand-shaped nebula while maintaining a foothold in familiar, heavy landscapes such as hospital rooms and wakes. Spiraling out from the ocean floor of rock-bottom, subsequent poems address a longing for connection, broken promises, plenty of mischief, and a speaker at peace with solitude. The final poems, inspired by Porter’s solo-backpacking adventures, climb ridgelines in Appalachia, exalting in the terror and thrills of the natural world.
