Of Mineral

A collection of lyric meditations cultivated from a deeply personal experience of the natural world, synthesizing the poet's experiences of the elemental and ephemeral; presence and place.

In Of Mineral, Tiff Dressen initiates a chemical reaction, taking place on the page so meaning is continually created and destroyed. The forces at play create a beautiful and unpredictable stability. With intentionality and deep attention, the poet undergoes an elemental education, learning through articulation how to experience the natural world as an active participant rather than as an observer. As the poet attempts to synchronize their left and right brain, boundaries between the urban and the "wild" dissolve to form a more unified experience of presence.
