About This Book
This collection of lyric poems is organized in three sections that move from restless reflection to wandering imagery and finally to intimate meditations. The verses combine classical and modern cadences, shifting meters and free verse to explore solitude, memory, faith, nature, and the effects of industrial and technological change on daily life. Recurring motifs include song and prayer, rural and urban landscapes, maternal grief, and the transmission of feeling across distance. The tone ranges from ironic observation of contemporary noises and machines to serene, measured contemplation, often privileging sincere inspiration and musical phrasing over artifice.
