Image of the poem, "Vernal Pool, West Kingston Town Dump" Poem Text: Up the hill from the Superfund site, where remediated gravel folds into remnants of colonial settlements, themselves folded into a place far older and more hallowed than we know, where the mountain laurel gives way to a soft patch of pines that diffuse the wind and birdsong and the sound of not-so-far- away machines, laying foundations for a new age that will never arrive, an ancient pair of tire tracks became a mud pit, a murky ditch that floods each spring, just off the worn roadway to the old West Kingston Town Dump, where amphibians and bugs find asylum in the symmetry of night and day, just as the temperature shifts and the rain sets in, across uncounted seasons of hum and egg and thaw, burgeoning like tree rings each in turn: spadefoot, peeper, pickerel, green frog, tree frog, wood frog, bullfrog, hatch alongside nymphs of dragonfly and fairy shrimp— all blossom in the refuge of this muddy rut, and above them, a barred owl observes with patience another fecund season, drone of mosquito and cicada chorus, water seeping below poisoned ground, a song heard without listening.

I have a new poem, "Vernal Pool, West Kingston Town Dump," out in ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment. This piece is about the North Woods at URI, a place with an interesting and complex history. doi.org/10.1093/isle... @asle-us.bsky.social
