In Caroline Simpson’s Choose Your Own Adventure, animals on Galapagos do the mating dance, the body is a “carpet bag of residual flesh”, and being pregnant is “primordial”. Simpson’s poems are drenched in imagination, creatively connecting us to nature and womanhood. Through each carefully chosen image, we peer into a larger life experience and find ourselves changed forever.
–Yvonne Higgins Leach, author of Another Autumn
Step over Darwin; step back, Ovid. Cunning, cheeky and smartly evolutionary Choose Your Own Adventure and Other Poems is the quintessential little field guide (in verse) to our animal mating games (and other affairs of the heart and scent organs.) Choose to tuck this one gingerly – or tenderly, if you prefer – into your hip pocket, and off you go, adventurous spirit.
–Katherine Durham Oldmixon, author of Water Signs, Co-director Poetry at Round Top and editor for Tupelo Quarterly.
