Title: What nature
First published: 1998
Description: Steve Fay's What Nature brings a naturalist's attentiveness to poetry.

Central to What Nature is "The Milkweed Parables," a long, atmospheric poem dealing with issues of nature, lineage, family, and history. As rich and sweeping as a novella, this remarkable poem is an inquiry into the interdependence of human life and the natural world.

Showing startling range - poems that move from political satire to portraits of loneliness and regret to humorthese poems form a multidimensional meditation on the relationship of man to nature, and as such are a unique contribution to the canon of contemporary poetry.
