The horizon is a type of boundary phenomenon. This book embraces the horizon literally understood, as the apparent boundary between earth and sky. It also draws on various metaphorical horizons, tracing the limits of human perception, knowledge and experience. It is especially attentive to the horizons of the Anthropocene, reflecting on their significance for us as a species and as cultural and historical beings, bound to human and other-than-human communities of various sorts. The Adagio poems explore changes that are pending, as well as already underway, in the wake of global warming and sea level rise. Tracing the arc of human perception, they pause in places that are -- like our shadow or skin -- part us and part of the world that surrounds us.

Laurelyn Whitt's poems have appeared in various, primarily North American, journals including Nimrod International, The Malahat Review, Puerto Del Sol, PRISM International, The Tampa Review, ARC, Rattle, Descant, and The Fiddlehead. The author of four poetry collections, her latest book, Tether (Seraphim Editions) won the 2013 Lansdowne Prize for Poetry. She has a Ph.D. in Philosophy of Science from Western University, immigrated to Canada in 2007, and is a Professor of Native Studies at Brandon University. Currently, she divides her time between Manitoba and Newfoundland.
