Californian landscapes in crisis and transitiveness as a state of being frame Christian Gullette’s Coachella Elegy. These chiseled, cartographic poems take us through Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, Santa Cruz, Mendocino, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, in intimate, foreboding portraits of self, state, family, and love. The poet, seeking terra firma, proves place to be a metaphor for mind:We spent the nightlooking at lights on mansionsin the Provo hills wherethere were songs and warm babies.

Find and share the perfect poems. Somewhere there’s music. We drive by Coachellato the Salton Sea. A sea as dead as Salt Lake. My phone buzzes. It’s the anniversaryof my brother’s death. There are no reedsas there are at Canaand this water will notbecome wine. Shorebirds drink it,not because they lovethe worldbut becausethere’s a magnet in it. Is that freedom,this wandering? There’s a forgottenswing set submergedin this sea. Young people whoonce swayed on it still exist.
