Description: This collection of poetry depicts those times and spaces in which awareness is made more acute-- from memories of childhood incidents to vivid evocations of America, France, and Spain; from meditations on works of art to precisely observed details of the world as "the thing it is." Infused with a sense of the mysteries to be found within phenomena, this is a collection shaped by the passing of time that reconciles the human and the natural worlds.
Review Quotes: "Tomlinson's work and his new volume achieve balance, synthesis and wonderful expression. Add to this that he is also very funny, and I trust you have abandoned any reason not to buy the book. Let's be proud of him." --David Morley, The Guardian
