The wonderful poems of True to Life aren’t nostalgic paeans to cinematography or ekphrastic illuminations, or even records of the experience of watching films. As they call our attention to “how every realism / is a representation,” they become linguistic delivery systems for insights into how now is born.

Landscape
we have what didn't
make what wasn't
light crawls
condensed
growls
what passes over shimmers
in summer
at bird speed
watch the cloud
climb the mountain
stutter
deliver
this aspect
king's wood
thicket's tricket
your green blinds me over
—from Emily Richardson's film Aspe
