About Deriving:

"Deriving is a masterfully crafted collection that is both prescient and relevant. Delisle traverses time, language, geography, and topography and deftly synthesizes the ethereal and the concrete with poems that 'sound the shape of a thousand leaves.' Delisle's lens zooms in and out from the internal workings of motherhood, family, and love, even as it brings into focus etymology, biology, climate change, and politics. Above all, this collection is a magical exploration of language's perfection and elusiveness. Here is a voice that enlightens, surprises, and stirs. Deriving is rich—its breadth and depth compel the reader to experience poetry that, at its core, is about 'finding words/for everything I'll never understand.'"
