This is a masterful collection of Crimmins' short poems, poems that sing to the soul. Lisa Rappoport, author of Penumbra, writes, "Reading this book is a chance to spend time watching and breathing as 'eternity/lingers there, doing what eternity does,' amid boulders, animals, sky, and the vagaries of the human heart." Jack Crimmins's poems have the rhythms of mellow jazz and the imagery of bright everyday things. Mary Kane says, [The poems] contain depth and grief and joy and healing and humor all at once. … they show the reader a way of holding the world as lightly as it is possible to hold anything. Read these poems and be glad."
