"This book is a chronicle of complicity in our modern lives, a witnessing of war and the destruction of our planet. It is also an attempt to adjust the more destructive blueprint myths of our society. Often our cultural memory tells us to keep quiet about the aspects that are most challenging to our ethics, to forget the violations we feel and tremors that keep us distant and numbered These poems take on this dilemma: 'bringing us gently to our knees is a gathering humility, brushing aside our mortification, finally at home, natural in the natural world--their wings our cocoon--becoming ourselves, pinioned resplendence, the human mothfly.'--Back cover.
