博客來In Jeremy Cantor’s first collection, Wisteria from Seed, we were swept in a strong current of scientific naturalism spotted with reflective pools and warming eddies. As I wrote in the foreword to that set ＂it finds universals in the quotidian...its meaning disguised in the plain dress of moment-to-moment experience.＂
The present volume, Cantor’s second, has matured to even greater measurement of the moment...embracing the now with a mixture of rumination and recrimination...yet still luminous in its attention to nature, family, community, observation...and survival.
This is poetry of time for a time: for our time, mourning traditional truth in the post-truth world; for any time, a sober reconciliation of present with past where memories and reflections admit a darker but no less faithful conviction.
