Description
In this spare, luminous collection of fifteen poems, a speaker looks back across a long life while contemplating mortality, memory, and the possibility of spiritual release. Anchored by two extended narrative poems, the book moves through imagined journeys, hotels, rivers, strangers, and everyday encounters, transforming personal experience into something intimate yet universal. Guided by Taoist ideas of flow, non-doing, and letting go, the poems embrace winter not as simple desolation but as a season of clarity, wit, and communal possibility. Precise, vernacular, and quietly profound, this final collection offers a moving meditation on how to inhabit life at the edge of oblivion.
