Description
This luminous collection of poems explores memory, mortality, nature, loss, and the mysterious continuities between the living and the dead. Moving between intimate recollection and expansive meditations on time, landscape, and the human spirit, the poems find profound meaning in silence, absence, and the traces people leave behind. With spare, incantatory language and quiet emotional force, the collection transforms personal experience into a deeply resonant reflection on impermanence and belonging. It is a distinguished late work by one of America’s most celebrated poets.
