About this title

Synopsis

The poems in this collection are of two kinds: those that seek to represent the world in its ephemerality and those that generate a world's unfolding. The author's ""double task"" is to bring our world palpably close and to transform that experience into art.

From the Back Cover

The poems in this finely honed collection are of two kinds: those that seek to represent the world in its ephemerality, and those that generate a world's unfolding. Along a spectrum of various oppositions, in landscape and love poems, and in those that speak of music, painting, and film, Gray Jacobik enacts her double task: to bring our world palpably close and to transform that experience into art.
