Susan McCaslin’s Field Play (Ekstasis Editions $26.95) weaves together four sections—Kith & Kin Fields, Gaia Fields, War Fields, and Cosmic Fields—exploring interconnectedness in life and consciousness. The poems reflect on family bonds, humanity’s relationship with Earth, the darkness of war, and the mysteries of the cosmos. Through themes of unknowing, wonder and ecological creativity, McCaslin invites readers to embrace paradoxes, as in the final poem “Poesia,” where silence and song coexist as complementary forces. Field Play offers a meditation on unity within diversity and the poetic journey into the unspeakable. 9781771715706
