Lambert has been working on for years, focusing now on fish, whales, turtles, snakes, and so on. Birds are included, but the poet has turned to a wider array of species to tell a story largely of the feminine.

Grace lies within the larger, divine concept of a collective feminine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I know you know what it feels like,\" the speaker of one poem tells the reader.
