Description
Composed during the difficult process of losing his eyesight, this luminous collection explores how time inhabits us—and how we inhabit time. Through vivid images of gardens, mornings, changing seasons, memory, and the natural world, the poems contemplate impermanence, perception, and the mysteries of attention. The collection’s quiet intensity and radiant imagery create the effect of light moving across stained glass, offering a deeply moving meditation on mortality, loss, and the enduring presence of beauty.
