Chosen by the author, the 97 poems in this new volume highlight the versatility of a poet who moves easily between free verse, traditional forms, and prose poems. Familiar favorites are here, along with lesser-known poems that collectively round out a retrospective of the themes and concerns that have characterized this poet's work from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm, direct, and intimate, accessible even at their most enigmatic, seemingly effortless in their musicality, the poems are a meditation on the passage of time, transience, and mortality. Natural and seasonal cycles are a backdrop to human hopes and longings, to the mystery and grace to be found in ordinary moments, and the pleasures, sorrows, and puzzlements of being human in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biblioasis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47065829703920,"sku":"9781771961806","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781771961806_p0.jpg?v=1763708602","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781771961806","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
