In this beautiful new collection of twenty-one poems he proves himself, once again, a true master of this art. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey take us from birth to death: from a baby's first delightful babblings, to the dignified, measured words of a man surveying his life and marriage, and looking forward into the unknown. There are moments of great joie de vivre, of pleasure in the earthy things of life; and yet, beyond, there is always a sense of a vaster, more elusive universe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe snorting of the horses in a field in 'Dreams', the egret on the rock in 'Sentinel': these are nature's mysteries. To make sense of these, we have language and music. Celebratory, playful, reconciled to the questions that will not be answered, these poems exude a miraculous kind of peace and understanding: 'A point of closure that allows the next\/Inevitable sentence to begin'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Adult Trade Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181572997360,"sku":"9781448105915","price":12.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781448105915_p0.jpg?v=1763829549","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781448105915","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
