Description:
The poems in E.G. Cunningham's Apologetics explore tensions of deep ecology in relation to subjective consciousness. Lyric fragments accrete and break to produce several possible readings regarding the role of the observer. Through long-form lyric poetry, Apologetics inhabits the seasons of extremes--summer and winter--and confronts the relationship between external and internal phenomena.
