About the Book
Commute is a long poem that contemplates migration in our world, from the largest movements of peoples to the smallest moments in our own lives. In this book, Bridget Meeds creates a narrative voice that is a flâneuse, always moving, seeing, and thinking. Her poetry is full of astronauts, Russian poets, bicycles, crows, snowy nights, and more, all in the service of understanding who we are, together, moving through this world.
