Delicate and perceptive, Robin Magowan's eighth poetrycollection is an invitation to witness an artist's life recounted through thewarm slant of memory. Whimsical, physical sensations are grounded firmly inconcrete visions of the natural world. Magowan digs deep into his past torecount memories that stretch across both oceans and decades: from thepolitical uprising in 1960s Berkeley to the salted air of Greece andmind-altering substances in Death Valley. This collection coaxes readers into Magowan'sworld of earthly delights, calling forth the riches he witnesses in the poetryof nature and in the nature of poetry.
