A new review of Fossils in the Making written by Tegan Daly appears in the Winter 2021 print version of The Carolina Quarterly. You can also read it online here.
“The final section, “Remains,” ranges back out from the interiority of “Wagers” to a sort of cataloging of conclusions drawn from earlier ideas. The poems of this section vary greatly in structure, but seem to hold a somewhat cohesive voice. There is a resignation to this section. If earlier poems served as the forming of a hypothesis, “Remains” is the dire findings of the research. The section explores the ecological disasters of our own making with an eerie matter-of-factness.“
