These poems are about surviving and sheltering in each other, but they are also about stopping to notice, to remember, to honor, and to mourn the troubling signs of a changing climate. [... ] Love is the abiding force, the glue in the world these poems occupy. ' We love this world so; we pour into it, ' the poems announce. And the love comes in incessant waves, love enough to survive snowstorms and near-drownings and hurricane force winds, love that flows into the poems just as tributaries, wetlands, and river mouths feed the author's home waters of Lake Michigan.- Debra Marquart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Linstrom is the author of the poetry collection \u003ci\u003eTo Leave for Our Own Country\u003c\/i\u003e (Black Lawrence, 2024).
