Scape

Scape, a poised and attentive debut collection by Joshua Harmon, engages with various landscapesfrom the constructed and debased world of parking lots, potato chip factories, and cul-de-sac traceries to the rural equation of woods, fields, and clouds crumpled page to create a series of conversations and engagements with the idea of the natural. Through his precise observations, Harmon defines landscapethe word and the ideathrough an insightful and meticulous relationship with language. For Harmon, landscape is never static; instead his poems map a constantly changing terrain, in which the interior is imposed on the exterior as a frame for seeing it.
