Iguana Iguana

Alive to the beauty and anxiety of new worlds and people, Iguana Iguana imagines a tough and tender soundtrack for tumbleweeds in search of roots. Recursive, deliberate, and as adaptive as their titular lizard, these poems invite us to listen so as to better hear ';the sweet shriek / of those far-off trains you suspect are coming / to claim you. To lay open the hills you haven't seen.' Caylin Capra-Thomas writes towards understanding the strangers we meet and knowing the stranger within. In doing so, she maps a blueprint for lay[ing] into the world / like it's good enough.
