Sojourners of the In-Between is a book about polarities, the mortality and sense of loss we feel as we grow older, and, on the other hand, the enlivening perceptions our years attune us to, what we might have missed in the full flush and energy of youth. In tones that are sometimes discursive and lyrical, humorous and elegiac, the poems suggest how large distances and abstractions might incline us more intensely to the materiality of things, their earthly make-up, even their dispersible elemental natures reshuffling into different guises. It's a book of longing for what disappears and is lost, and a book of thankfulness for our human capacity to sometimes sense what we often can only imagine.
