Painter On His Bike

Here are poems whose explicit wish is for the safe passage of others, for gatherings and regatherings, for the chance to wake again to a hall / of light, for life to go on beyond this moment /and yet because of this moment. Here are family memories and thoughts of the future, elegies for friends and fellow writers and love poems to husband and daughter; and, throughout, the fragile present moment somehow carefully balanced at the heart of it all.
