Julie Paschold takes a bold swing right in the title of her
collection Human Nature, the delineation of which has been the prime
ambition of literary folks since the first someone put pen to paper. Even, or
especially, when “[w]e thin-skinned hairless beings” look outside ourselves at
spiders and crocodile icefish, we also hold up a mirror in order to study our
own reflection. Who can’t at times identify with “a prairie vole,/ popcorn of
the prairie,/ . . . everything is out to eat me”? And it’s not just our fellow
critters we see ourselves in: Even “[t]he sky has a sliver caught in her thumb.”
It's this commonality which drives the poems and helps us understand where and
how we fit in.
--JV Brummels, poet; author of All the Live-Long Day
Embodying a rainbow of emotions, the poetry of Paschold grounds the reader to the world around them and those that inhabit it, big and small.
--Joel Sartore Photography - Office Staff
The poems in Human Nature offer a stunning and tender ecology. It’s impossible to turn away from the awe and beauty, even as the poems also engage in playfulness and grief and resistance. In these deeply spiritual poems, the body is intricately bound to the natural world. As readers of this work, we can feel both the immense power and smallness of our human hands trembling in each shimmering line.
—Stacey Waite, author of Butch Geography
