Publisher's Synopsis
This three-part volume of poems and prose pieces explores several moments characterising the drama of human existence: the voyage of mind and body in erotic experience, reflections on our self-understanding in modern culture and, finally, the cadences of memory as it transforms into new constellations of insight and self-discovery. Heeding a specific earthborn and earthbound imagination, A Small Atlas of Earth, In Recollection of Legacies and Patterns of Growth follows one internal law: the mind as it unfolds in poetic language preserves and extends our awareness of life, both its fullness and its tasks.
