Description
The nature of conflict occupied my mind as I pieced together the 2016 election.
Much of my dazed shock was the weight of hearing all at once a group of people who had
felt ignored. I felt compelled to write about the nature of conflict — how opposing sides
see one another with similar levels of skepticism and derision that comes from fear that
something essential will be lost. I wanted to write about this without directly discussing
politics. Instead, I used nature. I find warmth and stillness when I’m unanswerable to any
other person as the steady and constant presence of trees and sky contrast my frantic
mind until it slows down. This collection uses nature as a vehicle for conflict – a piece of
land at war with itself, and the fragility of the family who tries to make their home there.
