Haven by J.L. Conrad

Rooted in the American interior, Haven reveals the contours of layered crises—environmental, health-centered, and personal—as it engages with place, family, and ecological change. Signs appear where offered: in tarot card pulls, in half-remembered landscapes, in words spelled out on scraps of paper. As disasters continue to unfold, miracles (lemons, honeybees, crocuses) persist. Haven is at once intimate and expansive, lyrical and quietly urgent. Haven is part of a book-length poem titled What Sanctuary (forthcoming, Texas Review Press). This section of the longer work is grounded in the rhythms of March and April.

J.L. Conrad is the author of the full-length poetry collections A World in Which (Terrapin Books) and A Cartography of Birds (Louisiana State University Press), as well as the chapbooks This Natal House (Harbor Editions) and Recovery (Texas Review Press). Her poems have appeared in Pleiades, Sugar House Review, Beloit Poetry Journal, and elsewhere. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin.
