The Letter (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798899904165)

Part meditation, part oracle, part heedless plunge, The Letter is a dialogue with time, death, memory, and the self. These thirty poems ask what it means to live inside a body, to love, to grieve, to search for meaning, to grow older, to speak back to the void. The Letter is a reckoning with human frailty and our never ending desire to hold onto experience in a universe that ceaselessly wrests it from us. From scenes in a hospital in which a patient waits for a hearing on his sanity to a postmark in Bismarck, North Dakota, this work invites the reader to step into a space where words become bridges between time and timelessness, where memory, body, and spirit meet.
