We, the prosodic beings

Which Walks
Nightboat Books, 2025
“We age as we see; we see in our aging all we have done — all we have made, all we have read, everyone we have known — and it’s this seeing that moves us in and through and out beyond the world. Laura Moriarty’s Which Walks proves it. This is a profound and intimate study of being with at a crucial time where many feel without. A book (and a way to love) that we need.” - Renee Gladman
“Moriarty is our intrepid ‘archeologist of the present’ offering this long poem of expansive love to attune our walking, making, and remembering.” - Alli Warren
“‘Where we stand//mindfully outside the universe of words/…suspended in the phantom of equilibrium,’ — and now aware that the stability we once assumed is an illusion. From this strange position (or perhaps superposition) inside and outside the sayable, Moriarty makes language sing. - Rae Armantrout
