Edge Habitat

In ecology, an edge habitat is a dynamic liminal space where two adjacent ecosystems meet and merge. Touching on landscapes, climate change, memory, mental illness, and motherhood, Elizabeth Moore's poems invite us to inhabit our own raw edges with empathy, openness, and humor, asking what it means to live meaningfully and hopefully in a world perpetually on edge. Edge Habitat gives us nature poetry of a new order, looking to the tangled borders, brambly hedges, and midden heaps of our world to find meaning and connection. It is a love song for anyone who has ever felt caught in between-and for all of us longing for some kind of home on the brink.
