A� A� This collection weaves together themes of motherhood, immigration, social transformation, and interrogation. Throughout Seed Celestial, Sara R. Burnett writes haunting reflections on origins�_\"of myth and memory, language and country, earth and mothers�_\"as she looks to an uncertain future.    A� Bringing together contemporary issues of climate change, gun violence, and feminism while working from her own experience of raising a young daughter, she writes, �_oYou were inside my body \/ while I was outside; \/ outside was everything else.�__ Burnett vividly renders her own origin story as an immigrant�_Ts daughter using the myths of Demeter and Persephone. This book is a love letter to the earth the way only a mother can write it: appreciating all its faults while seeing its beauty. Burnett offers a poetry collection that is tender, and honest, akin to having an intimate conversation with a friend who tells us what we know to be true about ourselves, our twin capacities for love and violence, and what we don�_Tt. She intertwines our violent, complicated world with the uncanny human capacity for hope and describes the awe of a world recreating itself again and again while wondering about all we lose and leave behind, especially for the next generation.    A�Seed Celestial is the winner of the 2021 Autumn House Press Poetry Prize, selected by Eileen Myles.
