Clay Ventre's Excellent Wildlife Photos offers us a contemporary manifesto and a choose your own adventure, all with a wild wonder that never calcifies, where the heart is a very, very, stubborn beacon. Even a reluctant love poem cannot be faked when two lovers realize ""the weather / inside them was the same."" Or there's the poem titled ""Everything Exits"" that I read as ""Everything Exists"" because lifeforce is the medium of Ventre's work - indeed, this is a brilliant meditation on ""devouring / plate by plate / a lifetime."" - Hannah Larrabee, author of The Observable Universe and Wonder Tissue
