Title: After Rain
Description: “In her debut collection, *After Rain*, Nan Becker proves that the nature poem—an endangered species—is alive and well. She writes of *geese, flying/ahead of their echoes*. She observes, *Heavy carp muscle past, dragging their shadows*. In hard-won poems that are spare, sonorous, wise, Becker proves an able guide to the natural world and to the human heart.”
— Suzanne Cleary, author of *Trick Pear* and *Keeping Time*
