Pioneer Species by Ross Thurber, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This collection of poems from Vermont farmer Ross Thurber is divided into four sections: "Green Popplewood," "Sunburnt Juniper," "Stag Horn Sumac," and "Snow Melt, Black Brook." Each section represents a seasonal form of succession that is both literal and abstract. Ultimately the poems in this manuscript have been winnowed to represent a narrative that echoes the idea that, like a lyric poem, stability is only a moment in time-one to be cherished. | Pioneer Species by Ross Thurber, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
