The poems have a casual but intricate architecture. They're witty and unexpected and tender. Ball particularly excels in her last lines, which often land you in a whole new field.

Steeplechase explores multiple landscapes, including Mississippi and its many church steeples; countries known and unknown; cities and inhabitants both aspirational and lost. Its voice is humorous, bewildered, disillusioned, hopeful. The book's temporal setting is the two years of extra life granted a partner after catastrophic illness and surgery: love's last compelling season.
