Katherine Tower's second collection is a book of small wonders. From a house drowning in roses to crickets on an August day, from Nerval's pet lobster to the surrealism of flower remedies, these poems not only explore the fragility of our relationship with nature, but show what that relationship can aspire to be: each poem attunes us to another aspect of the natural world, and shows what strange connections might be revealed when we properly attend to it. The Remedies is a lyric, unforgettable collection which offers just the spiritual assuagement its title promises, and Towers emerging as a major poetic talent.
