A patina of a ghostliness imbues all abandoned towns with the same melancholy ache; whether they be a stereotypical cowboy western town in the American west or a once-thriving port town in Belgium. Once inhabited, and now deserted and set to ruin, they inevitably foreshadow a post-apocalyptic future; or for the less dramatically inclined, they intimate some measure of failure. Photographer Virginia Mayo's exquisitely composed and lush black and white images capture the decay and destruction of Doel, a port town in Belgium with a dwindling population. The authorities want to raze Doel to rebuild it into something shiny, industrial, and new; but in the meantime, it's a ghost town inhabited by a few lonely souls who stubbornly refuse to leave or to take comfortable apartments elsewhere: they are deeply rooted trees who will not be easily shifted to some other patch of earth. In English and Flemish.

“These poems listen. When I was reading them, awed by their loud silence, I heard a voice. Maybe the cry of a spotted angelanimal? "Looking for Small Animals" made me feel again how central the poem is to our existence. This book testifies to poetry’s awareness of immensity and terror, as well as the intricate intimate. Read Caitlin Grace McDonnell if you want to remember what autumn air feels like on your cheek: “... Buzzard’s breath ...’” –Spring Ulmer, Benjamin’s Spectacles

"After I read this selection of poetry...I felt as though I had walked into the androgynous and amplified quirks of an ageless poet who recognizes, catalogs, and celebrates each moment as a poetic scenario." –Chis Mattingly

The Peripatetic Notebook: Book II

Michelle Meier’s first collection of poems, "Famous Geranium", traverses the stuff of accidents, peculiarities, contradictions, futilities, losses, and dreams. Meier's precise language and exacting attention reveal the luminous strangeness that inhabits the most ordinary objects and occurences and takes us in touching distance of the nearly-here and nearly-seen but just out of reach. “Meier’s response to the world’s quietest signals— this gorgeous book— feels effortless," writes Miranda Field. "All is magical, aglow, like a glass of simple tap water in winter light.”
