These poems crisscross the Pacific: from an elegy for a forest in Alaska to a magical wish for those living on the streets of Saigon. Time lives differently in this work. Poems layer details of the human and natural world with the heart tugging awareness of the ephemeral nature of all things. Within that tender beauty, these poems offer the possibility of transformation. An unfathomable radiance moves through us/ we are more of this world than we know, and less.

"Beautiful, gorgeous book! These poems are exquisite compasses to live by." -Naomi Shihab Nye, author, Everything Comes Next: Collected & New Poems "So many moments I had to look away toward the horizon and let a poem settle in my heart." -Kim Stafford, author of Singer Come from Afar
