And lastly, whether or not you did these things, if you could talk about forced isolation. podcast-host

Isolation in relation to your poetics, given that one of your craft talks is silence as form navigating forced isolation in Kurdish poetics. podcast-host

And especially now that we've sort of explored many Kurdish specific forms of disconnect today, whether disconnect at home or out in the world. podcast-host

So the next two questions we have for you from others, like Tracy's, are also very much about rocks. podcast-host

But all three are sort of about rocks in different ways. podcast-host

So in a way you might have to focus on everything around the rocks in these questions, which sort of feels fitting given that rocks themselves would remain opaque or continue to resist language or resist words entering podcast-host

them to describe them. podcast-host

But before we hear these two other rock questions, I was hoping we could hear two epigraphs for the book, which are rock-centric, and then the poems On Hardness, Huzzle with Enemies, and Fleeing with Flag. podcast-host

So rocks, as we've just heard, appear in many ways in the book. podcast-host

There's also lines like, Rocks have been said to home my unknowing podcast-host

And one wonderful poem title is What Do You Mean You Don't Know? podcast-host

Do You Live Under a Rock? podcast-host

I love that one. podcast-host

Our second rock question comes from Pass Between the Covers guest, fellow milkweed author, and the judge that picked you for the National Poetry Series, Jake Skeets. podcast-host

Jakes's latest poetry collection out earlier this year is horses. podcast-host

And here's what another past guest of the show and host of the podcast Poetry Unbound, poet Padri Gotuma, has to say about horses. podcast-host

I am hunched over like a comma, studying the way a landfill can be mistaken for a sky, Jake Skeets writes in a collection that is part hymn, part lament. podcast-host

Written to sing the end of the world, instead he sees a new one, one of potential, breath, language, dreaming, ritual, making. podcast-host

and meaning. podcast-host

If, if, if, he repeats throughout the volume. podcast-host
