Aprašymas

From "the Romantic poet of our age" (New York Journal of Books), a luminous new mediation on nature, relationships, love, and loss

In Joanna Klink's dreamlike sixth poetry collection, she seeks herself out among moments of time, through abandoned streets, within glass flower vases, in evening rains. Beneath overturned stones and verses, she finds her grief for lost loved ones, warmth in a love found later in life, nostalgia for a father now eroded by age, uncertainty as her own body changes, as the senses that she uses to experience the world weaken. Each of her poems embodies what Virginia Woolf described as "moments of being" moments of awareness and intense feeling in which we become conscious of our connection to the world around us. In reading Klink's poetry, we too will learn to cherish our everyday experiences and see our lives more clearly and fully.
