Poetry that explores wildness and composes a landscape of complex human emotions. Drawing on a range of stylistic influences, the poetry of Sur takes on the essence of connection and the ways in which we continually develop meaning about others and to the natural world. With this collection, David Koehn paints a landscape where wilderness intertwines with human emotions and grows between ill-fitting interpersonal connections. Sur invites readers to step back and look critically at their world while remaining intimately intertwined with it. Throughout, imagery of nature—like a snake drinking from a stream, or a mountain god—blends with the emotional landscape of tumultuous relationships, exploring themes of wildness and an inevitable unraveling of secrets.

"Sur barely contains itself. Koehn packs this new collection with the thick sounds of hard syllables striking the earth, shaking it. I love the density of these poems, the depth of observation—so much here that rewards multiple readings. Koehn is inclusive yet precise in his noticing. He embraces incompletion and mystery, while also giving them room to breathe. These poems turn on their surprising intimacies. There are no consolation prizes to be had here, but sometimes there is consolation. And even, sometimes, love."
