Publisher's Synopsis
In How to See the World, Lambert takes us deftly along as she examines the new reality in which we've all awakened in 2020. She peels back its complicated layers with adept use of metaphor, as well as a revelatory tone that will have readers doubling back to unfold new meanings in a line, a verse, or a poem. Real moments of brilliance sparkle calling us to look beyond surface and pattern to recognize something beyond ourselves, even while we languish in a groundswell of change.
Tell me moonlight can't speak...she writes, then convinces us that it can. While pandemic is here and unavoidable, do not approach this collection as an outgassing of that reality. It is about much more--how interconnected we all are while teetering at the brink of change and that we must witness the miracle, not turn away. --Rose M. Smith, author of Unearthing Ida
