Arranging Nature

Overview

ARRANGING NATURE is Paul Naylor's second fulllength poetry collection. Michael Davidson writes of ARRANGING "What is the meaning of nature in the wake of 9/11? Have we arranged nature so successfully that entropy replaces Arcadia? In these brilliant, sensuous poems, Paul Naylor stays "attuned to heartsharp ear" as though to reconnect words to stone, syntax to landscape, and thus through language make matter matter. It is a considerable accomplishment."
