Overview

Ancestors and newborns crisscross these poems, comfortably slip in and out of one another's lives. There are celebrations, elegy, meditations on nature, family, history, science. The poet has created a jazz-like improvisation: voices from the last millennium call to the first quarter of the new and receive messages back. The variety of poetic forms in this short volume share an undercurrent: antidotes from divisive turmoil toward a welcoming rest.
