Selected by W.S. Merwin for the Yale Series of Younger Poets, this collection explores the subterranean landscapes of Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave system. McCombs weaves historical accounts and geological observation into a lyrical meditation on the human relationship with the dark, echoing depths of the earth. The work serves as a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, documenting the intersection of regional history and poetic inquiry.
