Rarely do we experience such a realization that our perspective suddenly shifts, allowing us to see the world, if even for a brief moment, in a different light. This deep stirring of the soul brings about an easier compliance with our surroundings. Anderson’s poetry lifts the blinding cloak of indifference that stifles such an awakening. This introspective journey begins with From You, My Friend’ and culminates with The Sand and Limestone of Time. Anderson’s poems explore and reflect on the ever changing light by which we see our world. The expert translation by Mancinelli-Franconi is true and maintains fidelity to Anderson’s vision.Erik P Anderson MD
