In word and in saturated, layered photographs, Fits orchestrates tender tremors and finds room for them in moments as quotidian and intimate as taking out the trash or releasing a bug trapped behind one’s glasses. Sometimes revisiting memory through the shared gaze of sisters, these poems are always susceptible to a present tense relation to land and place that achieves nothing less than an anointing. In this blessing, the middle land of this continent becomes a kind of sibling in witness. But there’s no distance here that would organize the world into observer and obseved. These poems witness by staying attuned to electromagnetic impulses and pathways coursing intimately under signification, deeper inside at the register of what Hortense Spillers taught us to think of as flesh. atakpa follows these pulses threading through and out of the body toward topography and its geologic archive to inhabit any point along this involute spiral as nest, vantage and point of gathering.”&nbsp;
