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 favourites 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\r\n\r\n\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","brand":"Robyn Sarah (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":48346922418398,"sku":"9781771961806","price":19.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0425\/4567\/6440\/files\/BNCImageAPI_a108e7c8-8cb7-4d86-ae6e-fd06f9a041af.jpg?v=1781828875","url":"https:\/\/paragraphbooks.com\/fr\/products\/9781771961806","provider":"Librairie Paragraphe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
