In poems filled with images of the north woods, bears and deer come out of the wild, if only briefly, to approach a city's tumor of light (Bear.) They return to a border only wild things can cross (Doe.) A Threshold We Carry draws us into that liminal space where poems are generated, a wilderness Trelstad loves. We are lucky that he shares it with us. This is an accomplished collection in which even an orange, with haiku-like clarity, takes part in a wider existence:In the fruit bowlon the table, an orangeis doing everythingThe Modern Wendigo-John MinczeskiNick Trelstad's stunning poems of quiet witness and discovery are born in solitude and a benevolent darkness, and teem with the spirits of Bly and Wright. This book brings us to the edge of a wildness and invites us to enter.
