Keeping Count, M. Travis Lane's 18th collection of poetry, begins in the poet's favourite terrain: short, condensed lyric that focuses on the natural world. "But pull a thread: music turns, " Lane writes, and the book progressively defamiliarizes the reader, moving from ecopoetry to a longer poetry of interiority in the second section, concluding with a final section that focuses on issues of mortality.

Writing from a decidedly feminist perspective, M. Travis Lane resists any easy attempt to order a universe of apparently conflicting patterns.

An environmentalist, feminist, and peace activist, M Travis Lane is known for meticulously crafted poems that explore the elusive nature of 'home' in both historical and present contexts and reflect on the identity of the woman poet and what it means to be a writer. This collection preesents thirty-five of Lane's best poems.

In a moment when poetry is blindfolded in the labyrinth of world politics, trying to find its way to the solutions, Lane gives us the rational route. She has put her fragile eggs (bubbles) in the basket of balance and harmony, the ironic optimism that suffuses her compassionate and intelligent writing... These are not classical puzzles planted as they are in history. They are Now." -- Linda Rogers.
