Overview
Windthrow: a forestry term for the uprooting or breaking of trees by wind. The voices of K. A. Hays' third volume of poetry speak out of nature's violent transformations. At turns self-effacing and empathic, fearful and accepting, these are poems of heat: the heat of new motherhood, of uncertainty, and of grief. Here, the things of a teeming world--" the truck stacked with cut trees," "the military jet, droning over," and "the beachgrass, blown / with dusty miller sprout"--are bound for renewal and ruin. In poems spare and strange, Hays looks outward to lay bare the complexities of our emotional lives.
