Light and Chance
Book Description
Filled with a passionate gratitude for each moment of consciously lived life, these poems speak of joy set against an acute awareness of our fragility. The poet speaks of "the hard seeds of happiness" and feels blessed "to mark life/with something other than losses."
Whether human or animal, the corporeal body in these poems remains valiant; the poems seek mortality more than their higher abstractions.
