<p>Poetry. With a startling mix of humor and conviction, RAM HANDS probes the anxieties of ecological desperation and parenting in the Anthropocene. This poetry collection is an epoch photobombing a selfie, an orca stuffed in a plastic bag, a mouth that tastes of gasoline, a call to arms against arms, and a multifarious assemblage of comedy, animality, and profound human sadness. RAM HANDS penetrates the veil of human complicity; it asks us, yes, we can evolve, but to what end? The speakers in Welcker's poems ache to become better citizens of the world, and in this aching we, too, lament and hope.</p>
