Even without binoculars, readers easily will spot in “Pretty Nearly All Natural” a red-tailed hawk, a flock of geese, an annoying gabble of grackles and a murder of crows, as the poet highlights weathers, seasons and the most invasive species of all (us). But although nature animates this collection, sharp humor, irony and poignant portraits of memorable humans fly through many of its pages, and all get their own well-deserved turn in a starring role.
Genie Abrams, former Newburgh, N.Y., city council member, is currently that city’s Poet Laureate. She hangs poems on trees, fences, parking signs and utility poles, and in the bathrooms of gas stations, bars and other spots she deems perfect for vandalizing in this way.
