Middletown, CT: Wesleyan University Press, 1988. The Avalanche Path in Summer will be followed by North | Rock | Edge, continuing my interest in geology, climate change, and the exploration of what our civilization now views as edge environments: mountains, coasts, islands, and seas, particularly the islands and shorelines of the North Atlantic. Though Trafficke is published, I continue to research my family's participation in the oppression of Africans and African Americans over the entire 200 years of slavery in our country. Obsessively interrogating three hundred years of family history in Scotland and Maryland, Trafficke tracks and remixes questions of race and identity, fact and legend in a text where violence, beauty, and the powers of a written word clash and conspire around questions of loyalty and the bitter legacies of slavery. My previous book, Trafficke (2015), is a mosaic of verse, lyric prose, historical narrative, and quotation.
