About This Book
This collection presents a wide-ranging lyric sequence that shifts between jagged urban landscapes and intimate domestic, religious, and mythic meditations. City poems depict nocturnal streets, bridges, parks, and crowds, often turning to death and resurrection imagery; other sequences attend to family life, illness, love, and loneliness. Further sections move into water and seasonal moods, tropical and ranch scenes, and short portraits that probe social and personal identities. The poet experiments with varied forms and tonal contrasts, combining stark, imagistic passages with elegiac and playful registers to explore vulnerability, desire, memory, and social observation.
