"Heartbreakingly stunning." --ADA LIM???N Elegant and contemplative, Adam Clay's third collection of poems explores what it means for our lives to change--dwelling on the moments decisions are made, and the repercussions we grow with afterward. A move. A new job. The birth of a child. In these intimate, bewildering developments--as familiar as the houses and ever-changing as the lakes and rivers that populate these poems--Clay finds that the only map available is "not of the world / but of the path I took to arrive in this place / a map with no real definable future purpose." Yet in these changes Clay reveals joy and wonder, staring into the heart of transition and finding in it the wisdom that "Despite our best efforts to will it shut / the proof of the world's existence / can best be seen in its insistence / in its opening up." Deeply rooted in beauties both domestic and wild--capturing the richest elements of the earth and the instability of a shifting sky-- Stranger collapses the past and the future into the lived moment, allowing for an unclouded view of a way forward.
