Meditative poems exploring nature, philosophy, and the human condition.

In this striking collection, David Brooks drifts between nature and philosophy, evoking a meditative quality that is both contemplative and full of grace. These spare and honed poems range in scale, from investigations into microscopic detail-observing the smallest creatures and textures underfoot-to the telescopic, revealing the smallness of human endeavor from a thoughtful distance. This volume is at once powerful, resonant, and unreserved.
