Book excerpt: The Providence of Grass is a poetry collection that invites the reader to be humble before and to accept the slow moving, though inevitable realities of death and the cosmos. One central image of the book is grass, a plant that usurps empires and breaks through abandoned concrete. The transience of specific places, even the entire Earth, is illuminated, and the far future of the sun enveloping the world (what astronomers say will happen in several billion years) is mentioned more than once. The reader confronts the impermanence of life.
