SELECTED POEMS

“I am weatherly and so”

“Elegy in a Field”

“Late Summer Elegy”

“Jody Rambo’s poems push and pull, travel and rest, occupy and set free.

Her ‘tether’ both holds her fast to the facts and words that make up our world, but at the same time it liberates her to roam and travel, inclined as she says, to wander off into the green beyond recoverable limits.’ What I admire most about this book is the way the wide arc of history and narrative and the smallest gesture of image and word come together—tethered—into something wondrous and new.”

—Jeffrey Thomson
