"The poet for our moment." --Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic Selected as a featured poem in The New York Times by Naomi Shihab Nye "In Rift Zone, Tess Taylor''s brilliant fourth collection, we encounter a magisterial range of subjects, from the geologic to the civic to the intimately personal. This book is a confident poetic engagement with the vital issues of our time, including the disastrous consequences of human activity on our climate, and its effect on the public and private spheres. Rooted in the shifting California landscape, this elegiac yet hopeful book is a necessary addition to the corpus of work dedicated to grieving the world as we know it." --Ada Limón, author of The Carrying Reading Tess Taylor''s book as one sequence, which I highly recommend, is like taking a long walk with a vivid friend. Her voice falls in a steady rain of memory and witness, calling an entire landscape to life. Unearthing and sifting the seismic layers of her own East Bay locale, she''s created a haunting American elegy. --Jonathan Lethem, author of The Feral Detective "Part natural history, part social history, part personal history, part prayer, the poems in Rift Zone are lit by a Northern Californian light that will both soothe and sear our hearts." --Camille T. Dungy, author of Trophic Cascade "Taylor has an eye for hidden histories, and the way unreconciled violences of the past continue to shape our collective and individual consciousness." --JinJin Xu, Los Angeles Review of Books "In this volume of poetry, you''ll find a wide range of emotion, deep sensitivity, and strong reactions. In a way she speaks for those of us who speak out but are seldom heard, who don''t know what to say, or are crowded out by louder, more forceful voices." --Tammy Ruggles, Reader Views FEATURES AND CONTRIBUTING ARTICLES Contributing writer for CNN Featured in Poets & Writers Magazine The Millions selection for Must Read Poetry in April 2020 Featured in The San Francisco Chronicle''s "Datebook" series Interviewed in ALTA Online Featured in Zyzzyva Magazine Virtual Book Launch with Point Reyes Books Featured on Ms. Magazine "A Reading List for the Social Distancing Era" on WAMUS Featurette in the East Bay Times Featurette in KQED Featured in a Library Journal Diversifying Poetry Collection List Poem featured in The Yale Review Poem featured in The Harvard Review Featured column in Bookmarks Featured in KUOW Featured on KALW Featured on All Things Considered "Evoking California with poems set in Berkeley, Sacramento, and El Cerrito, Taylor carries her reader to place after place, from little hill, to quake, to peak."--Hannah VanderHart, EcoTheo Reviews Featured in Beyond Baroque''s The Poetry Stage Redux Part IV Featured in Boston Globe''sfavorite books of the year! Longlisted in Believer Magazine Book Awards Featured in CNN Reviewed in West Branch Featured on the PBS News Hour Featured in Harper''s Magazine Featured poem in The Nation, "The poet for our moment." --Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic "In Rift Zone, Tess Taylor's brilliant fourth collection, we encounter a magisterial range of subjects, from the geologic to the civic to the intimately personal.

In a way she speaks for those of us who speak out but are seldom heard, who don't know what to say, or are crowded out by louder, more forceful voices." --Tammy Ruggles, Reader Views "Taylor's ambitious and masterful poems read her home state's historic violence against our world's current unsteadinesses--mass eviction, housing crises, deportation, inequality. They also ponder what it means to try to bring up children along these rifts. What emerges is a powerful core sample of America at the brink--an American elegy equally tuned to maternal and to geologic time. At once sorrowful and furious, tender and fierce, Rift Zone is startlingly observant, relentlessly curious--a fearsome tremor of a book." -- Point Reyes Books

Synopsis
RIFT ZONE, Taylor's much-anticipated third book traces literal and metaphoric fault lines--rifts between past and present, childhood and adulthood, what is and what was. Circling Taylor's hometown--an ordinary California suburb lying along the Hayward fault--these poems unearth strata that include a Spanish land grant, a bloody land grab, gun violence, valley girls, strip malls, redwood trees, and the painful history of Japanese internment. Taylor's ambitious and masterful poems read her home state's historic violence against our world's current unsteadinesses--mass eviction, housing crises, deportation, inequality. They also ponder what it means to try to bring up children along these rifts. What emerges is a powerful core sample of America at the brink--an American elegy equally tuned to maternal and to geologic time.
