Between family catastrophe, a tree house on the Oregon coast, and new science, the son grows into someone bent on discovery, repair, and unfamiliar ground.

Mother and father catastrophe is not background color; it is part of the terrain alongside tree house, family shack, and Oregon cliffs. The page insists that the boy once belonged wholly to that place, then turns and measures him against the globe, new science, and work that needs repair. Travel matters here because he is not escaping origin so much as carrying his restless competence into places he has never seen.

Continues. 'Amist mother and father catastophe,' tree-house years on the Oregon coast cliffs, and now the son sees the world with mind and feet; science pushes his art 'as part of the globe / in need of discovery / and repair.'
