The forces at play create a beautiful and unpredictable stability. With intentionality and deep attention, the poet undergoes an elemental education, learning through articulation how to experience the natural world as an active participant rather than as an observer. As the poet attempts to synchronize their left and right brain, boundaries between the urban and the \"wild\" dissolve to form a more unified experience of presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTiff Dressen's first book of poems Songs from the Astral Bestiary was published by lyric\u0026amp; Press, 2014.
