Description

Stunning meditative mix of lyrical and prosaic poetry in constant motion. Swensen turns and returns images from our external world while exploring a spiritual landscape marked by separation and the desire for reunion. The poet leads readers into Noon's interior so that they |see the world as a single streak, something built of transparent speed; pure white of the sort they say no one person, unaided, can perceive.|
