Surface Displacements

These poems travel through migration, mining excavations and waterways vulnerable to environmental damage and climate change in Minnesota, where the Northern Continental Divide crosses the Laurentian Divide and creates three watersheds that flow into the Mississippi River, the Great Lakes, and Hudson Bay. These are stories and images, historical and contemporary, about people who are displaced, whose languages are replaced, and who find a fluid space full of gaps, silence, risk and possibility.
