Synopsis

Poetry. Like the climatic force to which its title alludes, Michael Dowdy's collection of poetry has the equator at the core of their geographical, literary, and emotional sensibilities. Moving between Ecuador and Appalachia, and between cities and mountains, the poems' sensual textures and tight narratives in THE CORIOLIS EFFECT draw a world of cultures in contact, some rich and some poor, some beautiful and harsh simultaneously. Within this context, the poems take as their subjects love, community, poverty, human suffering, and the myriad forces that cause them-and more strangely-bats, trash, joints rolled from pocket bibles, and urban graffiti.
