<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A stunning new collection from a poet who "made her name a watchword for serenity and poise" (<em>Contemporary Poetry Review</em>).<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In Elizabeth Spires's sixth collection of poetry, the pilgrim soul, in its various guises, meditates on its own slow becoming, finding humble companions in creatures as unlikely as a lowly snail, a prehistoric coelacanth, or a tiny Japanese netsuke of a badger disguised as a monk. For Spires, life is both a pilgrimage and a deepening--birth, death, and transformation all part of a seamless continuum. Possessed of a calm, crystalline sense of eternity, her poems invite fellow travelers to sit for a little while and be cleansed of the dust of existence.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A simple but elegant tapestry of language.-- "Charleston City Paper"<br><br>Quiet, unprepossessing, filled with wonder at the mortalities and fleeting beauties of the world.-- "New Criterion"<br><br>Refusing lushness, Spires creates lean lines that hold the weight of thought and feeling like rope bridges over a chasm.-- "Booklist"<br>
