Overview
Time and time again, Robert VanderMolenās poems illuminate the cycles of human interaction alongside the slow-moving patterns of nature: ābark just separating / after nine thousand summers.ā A speaker asks, āIs everything too old or too new?ā and the resounding answer throughout Skin is that itās a bit of both. Colorless birds, āa deep sweep of wind,ā and arrowheads found in a dying red oak all point to fragmented moments that make up what it means to stitch oneās life together. āAttentiveness is my best friend,ā a speaker remarks off-handedly, but this affair with observation is earnest and real.
Skin rewards the reader through a tacit understanding that everything in life is part of something larger that we canāt see: the endless āthoughts that slide / into noticeā where āin the chill of privacy / one seeks promise.ā
