Senescence is a meditation on nature and its seasons. The text is a personal account of a year spent in the Bow Valley, Alberta. In the summer; Alhomsi compares a leaf miner's work to the work of eschatologists; in the fall, he studies the relation between texts, land, and bodies; in the winter, he stalks a muskrat and talks to marmots; in the spring, he observes a moth's metamorphosis and reflects on love. Between a fire & a flood, Alhomsi paints a refreshing image of what it means to be alive.
