Haunted by the looming, seeming inevitability of environmental collapse, the poems invoke traditional storytelling genres such as the parable and fairy tale to look back to the past for models of looking forward into the unknown. The collection also explores threads of love and loss including the author's father's sudden death when he was a child. With the understanding of the future itself as an unavoidable oblivion, ultimately the collection serves as a love letter to a daughter and her childhood, an act of preserving what can be preserved for this moment only, and an act of preparing for an opaque future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecurring motifs: dreams, children, fairy tales, rivers\/water, trees, non-human animals, forgetting, death, the environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrey Moody\u003c\/strong\u003e was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas.
