| Summary: | Majestic, playful, brainy, heart-wrenching, Katharine Coles' tenth collection of poems at once celebrates and elegizes, her teachers and parents, both dead at ninety, who still issue advice (some good, some not) from beyond the grave, the creatures who pass through her canyon quarter-acre, the moon as it rises and sets, even her Levi's shrink-to-fits, when she realizes she'll never wear out another pair. The poems "guide us with their empathy, sometimes yoked with a wry irony, around the physics of interactions." More than anything, this is a book about presence: haunted by the past yet firmly rooted in the also-haunting now, Coles keeps spinning, finding herself in words, in her body, in time. |
