Leave it to a poet to employ a word like “anneals.” It’s a scientific term, used to describe the joining of two complementary strands of nucleic acid through hydrogen bonds. An obscure word, yes, but also perfectly chosen for this metaphor. In Ann Lauterbach’s prose, art becomes the hydrogen bond through which well-matched individuals are connected.
