Description

"First marvel; then record." This tempered revision of Wordsworth's famous definition of poetry as a spontaneous overflow of powerful emotion recollected in tranquility serves as a useful guide to Emily Rosko's Weather Inventions. The poems in Rosko's third collection capture an enduring sense of wonder in the face of nature alongside the scientific impulse to observe and measure. At turns evasive and earnest, erudite and unguarded, researched and unbooked, the poems in Rosko's Weather Inventions chart humanity's enduring attachments to weather in science and art. Weather is the creative force here, inspiring a search for objective and reflective truths about our lives on this planet.

Acknowledgments
How thought the beauty of being
and the difficult spaces in between.
Being here beautifies the thought:
the form of such things!
A tulip: singular instrument
of color, symmetry, organ, function;
a lure to the eye and the bee.
Thought from beneath all questions why:
bulb deep in earth, puzzling itself
into its made flower. An invisible
form of intention willed
by chance conditions: soil,
rainwater, air. How beauty is
thought into being: the wonder starting
out, between the winds lived in.
I
Gossamer
An unsolved riddle, a medieval poet said:
this wake of moon disturbed
on the water, veil of angels fallen
on Mary at the Assumption. Mornings,
the rose vines are threaded
over; the meadow turned
to doily work, gauze and dew.
It’s the tiniest of aeronauts:
spinnerets sending up thread to air
until it catches enough
to lift the spiderlings. Undulations
of light, red to silver. Points of star-
burst gleaming with newness.
This body of ascendant
hundreds will rise and fall the currents,
wayward winded, dividing
the day to segments
and whims. All chances
numbered, and such unreal
possibility the leaves
uncount, sewn tree
to tree. Each line
of pristine silk the marvel of
we wake to see.
Reverdie
Call back spring and the migrations
of birds. Winter has sheared
down the birches to kindling
and ash,
