A really interesting project about lichen’s proposed immortality, the Californian landscape, and the ways we connect to each other, I ended up respecting “Twice Alive” even as I was more intrigued by the concepts rather then the resulting poems.

2.5 stars. This book feels a little bit like the inception of cultural appropriation. To use a writing style that has deep cultural ties (to a culture you do not belong) and then have someone from the culture write about how wonderful you are & what you did to capture the "essence" of the culture? It's questionable for me.

Mostly nature poetry, mostly California. Great imagery in the word choices.

This book was so so so solid. So much of it was surprising and fresh, and other pieces, while heavy, felt deep and wild and attractive.
Content Warnings
Minor: Sexual content
Lots of euphemism between the lover and the beloved and nature/natural processes— feels steamy sometimes!dadoodoflow's review
