Moveable Darkness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781903392249)

Our eyes are instruments of light that register darkness as absence of light. We never see darkness. We don't know for certain what it is. Shadows moving under the moon and shade growing from the ground in sunlight give the illusion that darkness moves. Even night appears to slide around the planet, but darkness never moves, only is moved, controlled by the position of light. Our bodies, filled with darkness, move darkness, give darkness a self. These poems, tracking that movement, metaphorically and literally, search for the opposite of self, as light is the opposite of darkness.
