These poems suggest, "what if, more than place, it's about sound?" In MILK TONGUE Mathieu uses haibun, long poems, and experimental forms to explore what we inherit or pass on - privilege, oppression, anxiety, "hypnagogic conjure," and a warming earth - and envisage how, through deep attention to the emotional vibrations under the surface of these phenomena, we might become "both human and an / animal worthy of this speck of dust."
