Synopsis
In The Floating World, Seraphim George gathers poems from across three earlier collections—Milkweed for Monarchs, A Swiftly Tilting Shore, and Dear Seamus Heaney—and arranges them into a new, continuous journey. The result is a book that moves fluidly between nature and myth, intimacy and absence, the everyday and the eternal.
From shorelines and skies to islands, saints, and shadows, these poems chart the fragile drift of living in a world that refuses to stay still. A dragonfly’s shimmer, a cat’s wandering absence, a prophet’s voice breaking into the present—each moment is caught and held, luminous against the dark.
At once lyrical and searching, The Floating World is a meditation on impermanence: on love that flickers and fades, on faith that both steadies and unsettles, on beauty glimpsed and gone. With musical precision and haunting imagery, George writes of what vanishes and what lingers, offering a poetry that becomes, finally, a form of companionship—an invitation to pause, to listen, and to remember what would otherwise be lost.
