Speakers drawn from history and local settings recount narratives of loss, struggle, and perseverance. The natural world glistens with beauty and vitality. Cancer overtakes the body, producing a suspended state of existence. Everyday objects suggest universal truths and mysteries. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUngrafted\u003c\/i\u003e offers more than two dozen previously uncollected poems left in manuscript at the time of Emerson's death, alongside generous selections from all her previous books.
