Amidst the real and metaphorical darkness, the poet seeks the visceral experience of watching the sun consumed: \u201cEveryone,\/apparently, \u2026 packing their bags for the <em>path of totality\u2014\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Despite, or perhaps because of, this shadowy landscape, the poems stand out for their vibrancy and texture: \u201cthe soft dark flanks of mountains,\u201d \u201cautumn so perfect\/it might go up in flames,\u201d \u201cJuniper berries popping on lush\/ green grass,\u201d and \u201cthe eyes of a bird,\/ retinas pooling with oil.\u201d Kosek\u2019s poems succeed at combining beauty and waste, celebrating the world\u2019s lushness and simultaneously knowing the part we play in its devastation. These poems mark the seasons of nature and out-of-season anomalies. In recording the small, recognizable moments, they act as a center of gravity to an off-kilter existence. <em>American Eclipse<\/em> takes us well past anything as simple as hope; like birdsong in the dark, \u201cThe last white sliver stuck.
