Nature Poem follows Teebs - a young, queer, American Indian (or NDN) poet - who can't bring himself to write a nature poem. For the reservation-born, urban-dwelling hipster, the exercise feels stereotypical, reductive, and boring. He hates nature. He prefers city lights to the night sky. He'd slap a tree across the face. He'd rather write a mountain of hashtag punchlines about death and give head in a pizza-parlor bathroom; he'd rather write odes to Aretha Franklin and Hole.

Em "Sua excelência", por sua vez, o que o leitor encontra é um exemplo ancestral da literatura fantástica, em que o devaneio de um cocheiro e a vaidade de um ministro se misturam.

Today, we exist in the middle of a world torn by the ravishes of war, progress, and greed and the resulting wood, steel, and mortar that make up much of our habited areas often hide or camouflage the beauty of nature. Momentarily outside a window, a blue jay appears or a city is blanketed with the super whiteness of a snowstorm or even a child sees the annoying presence of a roach or mouse across a kitchen counter, and we pause to remember that natures' voices are all around us, and surprisingly, we are in the middle of it all.

Other pieces, though, sing of joys as diverse as family closeness, the love of dogs, the delights of scents, and the power of the muse.

Par un minuit lugubre, un esprit las veille sur d’anciens volumes quand un léger heurt à la porte trouble le silence. Bientôt, un corbeau ténébreux s’installe et, avec un refrain implacable, pousse le narrateur au bord de l’obsession. Chambre close, décembre âpre, souvenirs d’un amour perdu: tout conspire à faire monter la fièvre du doute et du deuil. Chef-d’œuvre de l’imaginaire romantique, ce poème allie cadence hypnotique et atmosphère funèbre.

The beauty of spring is not just in its stunning visuals and intoxicating scents, but also in the feeling of hope and new beginnings that it brings.
