A meditation on the centrality of predation to the Western lyric tradition.  In dialogue with Wittgenstein's “On Certainty,” Ovid's Metamorphoses, Shakespeare's Hamlet, and Thomas Wyatt’s “Whoso List to Hunt,” among other works, Kristen Case's poems and lyric essays unearth the ways violence both disrupts and enables our ways of knowing—or approximating knowledge of—one another.
