We are--human and nonhuman--all on the move. In keenly observed verse, David Baker carries us across physical and emotional geographies, moving seamlessly from deep woods, city streets, bay shores, and creek beds to the contours of his own psyche and the larger cultural circumstances that mark off our lives. But these dynamic poems are grounded in a deep sense of home, posing poignant questions about where we live, what we seek, and how we find our way through the world. Both an imaginative point of departure and a love letter to familiar places, the poems in Transit pay studied attention to the topographies of the world around us and the terrain of the heart.
