In \u003ci\u003eConjure\u003c\/i\u003e that pleasure is matched by dread; fascination meets fear as the poet considers the emergence of new life (twin granddaughters) into an increasingly toxic world: the Amazon smolders, children are caged or die crossing rivers and oceans, and weddings make convenient targets for drone strikes. These poems explore the restless border between self and non-self and ask us to look with new eyes at what we're doing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCARE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDress like you care!\u003cbr\u003eEat like you care!\u003cbr\u003eCare like you care!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou don't think\u003cbr\u003eapples just grow on trees, \u003cbr\u003edo you?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA fish taps a clam\u003cbr\u003eagainst a bony knob\u003cbr\u003eof coral\u003cbr\u003eto crack its shell -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ewhich demonstrates intelligence\u003cbr\u003eyes, but\u003cbr\u003eis the fish\u003cbr\u003epleased with itself?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlone in your crib, \u003cbr\u003eyou form syllables.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAre you happy when one\u003cbr\u003eis like another?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdd yourself\u003cbr\u003eto yourself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow you have someone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRAE ARMANTROUT is the Pulitzer Prize winning author of fifteen books of poetry.
