“The Seed is Waiting in the Dark” confronts the realities of ecological catastrophe and diasporic displacement with the lyric intensity of a life lived reckoning with questions of collective survival. Included within this collection are five of Goldberg’s paintings, which poignantly illustrate these feral, visionary poems. Full of grief, grace, and lessons from the land, “The Seed is Waiting in the Dark” conjures ancestral instincts to claim belonging within the cycles of natural life.
