About this product
Product Information
Whether collective or private, environmental or familial, in Overland no loss is overlooked as sestinas and sonnets are interspersed with weary reportage on the power and limits of witness. Here, language is mined-Latin roots are unearthed, ripped apart, and reproduced into anthimeria to describe an industry-obsessed society that is "plasticking"-all while words like "intercourse" and "consent" are named and reclaimed. From the longform associative verse of "The Lake" series, to the two lines of "Gunmetal Gray," Eilbert proves her poetic versatility and stamina, writing in sonic lines as dynamic as the emotions she evokes. We emerge from these poems changed, having learned the truth of the words, "We lose / the world with deliberate focus." Transverse Orientation, A fire begins from the hands. A filament rings with incandescence-not poetry strictly, a lightbulb shaped as bodice. Moths navigate air Guided by the moon. Body positioned to gravid North Star. The department secretary says North Star to suggest there is hope despite obstacles. I write "North Star" with follow-up bullet points. Animals fixate on primeval paths. Migratory path. Moon path. Magnetic-field path. Tremor path. They walk impossible interstates and die. They fly into fire moons and die. They snap into blue and die. Dark waters absorb heat and they die. They die. I never pled with the moon to save me. I set my arm on fire with hair spray. I closed my eyes to the highway and stepped into her dark waters. I sipped pebbles one two three and slept for miles, an administrative moon driving moths and waves and wombs and each glib cliché. We see the moths fried to the bottom of bulbs as a lesson in pleasure, punishable by death. And look at us, guided by similar light-that you would have me change.

Reviews
Praise for Indictus "It would be easy to describe [Indictus] with empty adjectives such as fierce, powerful, or obsessive, but this book is more like an escape room that one might never want to leave."-- The Tupelo Quarterly , Victoria Chang "Indictus is a tour de force. Its anger is unafraid; it owes us nothing and refuses to apologize; it is a chronicle and an agent. Eilbert tempers her words for no one; she too has a truth, and has unmade your mouth so you might listen."-- The Chicago Review of Books , Sarah Huener "Natalie Eilbert's Indictus isn't a timely book. [...] It's ancient and current. Time is meaningless to it."-- The Adroit Journal , Jacqueline Krass "Natalie Eilbert's Indictus is the book of poems I want to be reading in these days. It is the counteragent, the cure, to a world that blames us for being ourselves. It is a book that quickly becomes a place to rest our weary loneliness, to give the unsaid a place to be said. [...] If you are lost, this book says, come home."-- Dorthea Lasky "In this world of broken bodies, Eilbert's tenacity, her sheer drive to get to the end of a thought, to get the words onto the page, conveys a demand: to be honest, to resist, to live."-- Daniel Borzutsky "I have removed all of the Homer from my bookshelves, and Dante, and Milton and Holden Caulfield, too. I trashed them all. In their place, Natalie Eilbert's epic Indictus, the only journey of tribulation and discovery that I regard as true heroism."-- Morgan Parker Praise for Swan Feast "Eilbert's array of referents can be dizzying, but her intoxicating language is sure to keep readers under her spell."-- Publishers Weekly "This is the voice of contemporary feminism, brazen, smart, unafraid, and desirous of nothing less than life."-- Julie Carr "Everything happens in [Swan Feast]. Let it happen to you."-- The Rumpus , Julie Marie Wade, Praise for Indictus "It would be easy to describe [Indictus] with empty adjectives such as fierce, powerful, or obsessive, but this book is more like an escape room that one might never want to leave."-- V ictoria Chang, The Tupelo Quarterly "Indictus is a tour de force. Its anger is unafraid; it owes us nothing and refuses to apologize; it is a chronicle and an agent. Eilbert tempers her words for no one; she too has a truth, and has unmade your mouth so you might listen."-- The Chicago Review of Books , Sarah Huener "Natalie Eilbert's Indictus isn't a timely book.

Let it happen to you."-- The Rumpus, Praise for Overland "Eilbert offers an exquisite study bringing themes of nature and climate change to the forefront while also focusing on mental health, grief, trauma, and love. Throughout, she brilliantly tackles today''s crises, which she often presents hauntingly, aware that not everyone feels the same sense of urgency."-- Library Journal , STARRED review "Snapshots of everyday life examine environmental devastation, violence, and the complex range of human experience, from the deeply personal to the universal, in Eilbert''s elegant third collection. . . . The works in this collection communicate our inextricable and bountiful connection with language. A powerful and striking collection."-- Allison Escoto, Booklist "There is a quiet intensity to this book despite the siren-blaring urgency of what she describes in these pages. Eilbert''s verbs, in particular, keep me on the edge of my seat. ''We see the moths // fried to the bottom of bulbs as a lesson in pleasure,'' she writes. . . . Throughout Overland, Eilbert provides an intimate and fierce look at the dread so many of us know all too well, its many precipitators, both internal and external, and illustrates just how tightly the inside and outside are bound."-- Diana Arterian, Lit Hub "Overland wagers it all on our imperfect language, our last best hope for airing experiences so private or suppressed as to feel incommunicable. . . . Language as gift, recognition, unconditional care: this is one of many discoveries Overland perches on, before its perpetually moving thought heads restlessly on."-- Christopher Spaide, Harriet Books at the Poetry Foundation "These tender poems examine grief and memory, disasters and light, and nature and science. Some sentences left me breathless. . . . I see myself studying this book--full of wisdom--carefully, scribbling definitions in the margins and handwriting quotes in my notebook."-- Book Riot Praise for Natalie Eilbert "It would be easy to describe [Indictus] with empty adjectives such as fierce, powerful, or obsessive, but this book is more like an escape room that one might never want to leave."-- Victoria Chang, The Tupelo Quarterly "Indictus is a tour de force.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
