Abstract
Insurgency Sarah Holland-Batt (bio) How perfect the past is.Everything happens there once.Snow geese hunkeron the frozen lake.Cotton moths tremblein the dark.Wild watermelons swarmwith seeds.And the errorswe have madewe have made completely.Like the fire bluepit of glacial icecalled terminal moraine,things assume the hardest shape.But still, this insurgency.The door unanswered.The stone unthrown.The captiveon the other sidewho waits and waits.
