Says Van about her collection: 'The old hill near where I grew up was outwardly ruined: its pines were dead, its vines gone to seed and its sheds, which once held some purpose, sunk and rusted. With my immature logic I considered this place open and powerful, even though the land was enclosed by a wire fence and fallow from overcultivation and neglect. Like other places in the world, the traces of colonial settlement here held dull, sour feelings. The entire place seemed displaced from itself; maybe nothing could belong there.

Writing these poems has something to do with being in lands like this. As a child that hill gave me my first feeling of personal privacy, even though it was open, even though it was fenced for someone else, and perhaps because the fence was there. The poems here express indignation at the eventual consequences of privacy. Yet, equally, privacy fascinates me. Equally, fences fascinate me – their lines, their tensions, their bending. I am not the first to say that poetry is a form of enclosure, but I want to say it here again, anyway. I love how permeable this form of enclosure can be. In the same way, I loved how the fence around that private hill would bend as I moved through it.'

Says Bobis about the book: 'The ocean passes beneath these poems and one inevitably gets wet. It’s ‘a liquidation of territory’, whether in Vietnam or in Australia, or between what’s touched and what’s yet to be touched. Site of frisson. Contention. Then insight. These prose poems start as a moment flowing in interior monologue into multiple spaces and times. Then sneakily, and bravely too, the

Pups all time FAVORITE!
Color: Dim Sum Dumpling Pet Toy Set
Our pups FAVORITE “ball”. He’s obsessed and has a blast with these little dumplings. Small size toy, but our medium labradoodle loooves them. Not to loud of an squaek either. They last quite awhile before he pops the squeaker. Fabric holds up really well.

Great squeaky fetch toy for small dogs
Color: Dim Sum Dumpling Pet Toy Set
My dog loves these little squeaky dumpling toys. They are the right size for small dogs (under 20 pounds) to chase and fetch, and they have good squeakers inside. They have a friendly look and my dog can fit them in her mouth.

Cute toy for small dogs!
Color: Pinata Dog Toy
My dog is obsessed with this toy. This does not have a squeaker in it which is great cuz she doesnt like them. The crinkles and rope seem very durable. She did eat the tail very quickly but overall its held up well! Great tug toy for a small dog or puppy!
