How to Hold a Flying River: Poems

Más información sobre el libro

Fleeting fragrances, fragments of dream and memory, secrets whispered in the night, painful collisions with reality, consolations drawn from music and clouds: these poems move relentlessly through shadow and light as they circle, question, and confront the turbulence of being human. They stretch sensitive drumskins over frames of close observation, resonant understatement, and silences rich with insight. Ultimately, the poems are exhortations--for heaven to "rest your head on my knees"--and invitations for the reader to enter a space where the ineffable dwells.
