Description
This luminous collection explores the fragile boundary between the tangible world and the realms of memory, imagination, and spirit. Drawing on family history, rural life, mortality, and the creative act, the poems move from intimate reflections on a father’s death and the passage of generations to dreamlike encounters with light, landscape, and transcendence. Ordinary experiences become portals to larger questions about time, loss, transformation, and the possibility of seeing beyond what can be directly perceived. Marking a more meditative and spiritually expansive phase in the poet’s work, the collection combines vivid sensory language with a searching, quietly profound vision.
