In his poem "Afterward," James Applewhite imagines a curious Eve in the Garden of Eden, her eye falling upon a twisting river and an S-shaped snake before she eats from the tree of knowledge, choosing change over stasis. Applewhite's new collection Time Beginnings casts a keenly observant eye on the ever-varied natural world and meditates on the place of humans within it.
