Description
This searching, compassionate collection explores how the sacred emerges within the routines, crises, and intimate dramas of contemporary life. Moving between domestic experience, public catastrophe, myth, faith, grief, and wonder, the poems examine the fragile boundary between the mystical and the mundane. With language that is direct yet formally adventurous, the poet tests what personal narrative can reveal—and what it cannot—while giving voice to the disorientation and longing of an unsettled age. The result is a many-sided meditation on how people find meaning, connection, and grace in ordinary time.
