'The Fair Chase' narrates the pursuit of a mysterious creature 'glimpsed through a gap in the fog, not quite discerned/not quite discernible'. This hunted animal--or presence, or spirit--then becomes the hunter, stalking the reader across the collection, reappearing in various guises: 'a glimpse/of something/at my back//not heard, or seen/but felt/the way some distant//shiver in the barley registers'.from Varsity: Literature: Black Cat Bone by John Burnside
