In Ross's seventh book of poetry, he explores the relationships of seemingly unrelated words - from |middle| to |excluded|, |dizzy| to |morality|, |language| to |stump| - brilliantly revealing the processes of thought and the associative relationships of anything to everything else, of concepts of gardens to weeds to seeds, from plants to addictions to matches. Winner of the 2003 Gertrude Stein Poetry Award, Ross's book demonstrates, once again, his intense exploration of meaning.
