Publisher's Synopsis
In three compositional movements, these poems undertake a journey through geographies of human history into the intimacies of childhood, aging, and memory. Placement reflects on the disparate conditions of biography, place, and relationship that shape our lives. Not the End of the World affirms the inevitability of uncertainty, loss, and grief. Medicinal Properties arrives into gratitude for the solace of love, for the peace in solitude, and always for the power of beauty. The poet encounters the nature of all experience-the physical universe, the living world, thought and feeling-as impermanence and change. As Movement.
