Summary

These are poems of deep sentiment, and certain collisions of memory and imagination; poems that respect melancholy; and poems that deepen our understanding of betrayal and tenderness, love, loss and even violence. This book is about decades of thinking, feeling, considering what living might really mean and what a person does or doesn't do to protect one's spirit, one's soul.
