Jefferson Singer's meditative lyric and narrative poems trace patterns of relationships-e.g., husband and wife, parent and child) over a full life course encompassing origins, conflicts, steady habits, and loss. They explore the roots of creativity and spiritual awakening with gratitude for every common and uncommon pleasure-"the hallelujah of azaleas everywhere" and "the spark, the light, the Yes."

Jefferson Singer is the Faulk Foundation Professor of Psychology at Connecticut College in New London, Connecticut, and a clinical psychologist with a psychotherapy practice in West Hartford, Connecticut. He graduated from Amherst College with a double major in psychology and English, receiving both the Academy of American Poets Prize and a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship. After earning a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Yale University and conducting a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of California San Francisco, he began his career in the psychology department at Connecticut College. After a long career of publishing articles and books in the fields of personality, psychotherapy, and autobiographical memory, he has increasingly devoted himself to writing poetry and has had poems appear in Sixfold, The Raven'sPerch, Orenaug Mountain Poetry Journal, the Medical Literary Messenger, and the anthology Winter Glimmerings. This is his first book of poetry. An avid hiker, he loves spending time on the trail with his wife, but also reading to his young grandchildren.
